This past week in practicum, we have had many issues with behavior problems. How ironic that my inquiry wondering revolves around these issues and how to make them better. Originally, I was going to focus on the disruptive behavior of my students. The biggest problem that most of the disruptive students have is shouting out without raising their hand or continuously talking with the teacher is talking. This still is a very major aspect of the behavior problems in the classroom, but I am now starting to wonder about the disrepectful behavior between the students as well as for me and Megan. There is consistently this one kid that talks back and is so incredibly rude. The worst part is when we go to flip his card on the behavior chart, it doesnt even phase him. I believe that this is an even bigger issue that needs to be addressed over the disruptive talking. But how? I know that I can not change the entire behavior system that my cooperative behavior has in place. But, I do know that I am tired of dealing with his behavior and I want to put an end to it. For some reason, I am totally against in and out of school suspension because I feel like its a "free day" pass for the students and since they are being pulled out of class, they are getting farther and farther behind. I know that I refuse to tolerate it any longer, but I also feel uncomfortable in the situation because Megan and I do not know how to put a "healthy" end to the situation. In addition to the disrepectful behavior that we are receiving, it is also being dished out between our students. Bullying has been an ongoing issue throughout the whole year. Since several of our students can not and will not get along, then it has been extremely hard to find seating charts at lunch in the classroom that will work for the environment of the classroom. This has been one of our biggest struggles that I also believe leads to other problems. How much am I able to fix through my inquiry?
