It was a fine day and almost ruined by a spoiled brat kid. Early this morning, I was trying to calm myself and be patient enough to teach this 10-year-old boy. I can sense that he is having a bad attitude during our class. When he shouted at me, then I lost it. Without a second thought, I really shouted and scolded this young boy. It was really a bad feeling and I can feel my fingers flickering. Plus, my blood pressure spikes uncontrollably.
It has been a long time that I didn't shout. The boy disrespected me in all angles this time. In the first place, he doesn't have the right. I am still his teacher.
"When was the last time you shouted to someone?"
"Would you react the same way as me?"

I really don´t know when I really last shouted a long time now but that does not mean to say that I don´t feel like shouting sometimes when it comes to putting up with someone else losing their temper and shouting down at others.
I might react the same way or not not sure depends on what the trigger is.

See the thing there is there are a certain few that I can expect that kind of thing from and I usually anticipate what I can see coming and that way I don´t get too bothered about it if I can help it.
I don´t blame you for blowing your top and you have to when you need to.

@lovinangelsinstead21 I am still human that will snap anytime. But I can still conceal my feelings. Today, it didn't work for this particular student.

I never thought I would shout until I became a mom. I admit that it's really not easy to remain calm when the kids are not listening or not respecting us. It might even be harder for you as it's not your child.
I am glad that I don't shout these few days.... though I wish I can last that (no yelling or shouting) for a month, a year or even much longer...

@Shavkat I am not sure how the kid you mentioned is, and I am not sure if it's just that I usually mixed with good behaved kids when I was young, as I always bring my kids to the park or playground, I see how some kids in the park behave. I was quite shocked at the beginning with some of their behaviors. Of course, some kids are still very well behaved, but some are totally not. Even some teenagers are not being considerate as I thought.

You have a point. It is not acceptable to be shouted by a kid that is not related to me. I tried to be so patient enough. A shout is not an excuse for me. It took me a long time to conceal my real feelings with him. It blows my mind when he did this bad act.

I seldom shout but I can throw intelligent but very painful words while still smiling and maintaining my composure. Like that tough kid we caught stealing at my junk yard, I asked him if his father was tough, when he didn't answer I told him to call his father so I could bump their heads together
I had him brought to the " Barangay" and had the parents summoned , the boy and parents got lectured there.
I also told the parents that next time there child is caught causing a problem in our community I would have him sent to DSWD.

@Shavkat parents would have some sort of liability, our problem are the large clusters of informal settlers that have mushroomed around our private subdivision, they don't send their children to school, don't discipline them and at times they themselves benefit from what their children steal

@louievill I agree. Some parents are so irresponsible. Whenever I see some street children and ask something from, I usually ask where are their parents. If they will not stop, I will report them to DSWD.

Hard to tutor kids because of their limited attention span. Asking them to sit still and pay attention online would be doubly difficult compare to their being physically present. The kid was probably impatient to get the lesson over with so he can start surfing and play internet games.

I think he is not a toddler. If he is, I can understand his bad behavior. With his age 10, I think it is acceptable. I tried to conceal my ill feelings, but when he shouted; then that is disrespectful. It is simply because he doesn't like to learn the English language.

I do not lose easily my temper, it does not happen once a year, but if this brat had managed to do it, he would have remembered for the rest of his life that some people may shout louder than him. Forget it, we are only humans, and he was deserving it.

@Tampa_girl7 I hope he will never book my classes online. As of this moment, I am having a class with him. I closed my video. I really cannot bear to see him. It seems that he behaves now.

I usually rarely do that, almost never. It's because I always try to be a quiet person.

@Nickzter1331 I totally agree with that. Since I am teaching online, the admin treated the virtual teachers as AI robots. 
But I don't allow myself to be one.

You really get some bad ones in teaching. i guess now I am glad I never got accepted because I do not know if I could deal with these people. You had no choice and the kid probably deserved it. I can understand how you would fell afterward. It had to be done.
