My school has no school-wide consequences....help!

by lb

Jan 27, 2012

I teach 7th and 8th grade middle school at a K-8 school. Recently, they got rid of all referrals and our "responsible thinking room" where students could be sent there if they needed to make better choices in class. Because of the instructional time that was being missed, students cannot be sent out of the classroom unless there is physical fighting anymore. I just had a class today that I felt that I just lost control of. This is my 6th year of teaching, and I have never had this issue since student teaching. They were loud and not listening. My consequences are 1) move seat 2) phone call home 3) lunch detention. SO apparently now the kids don't really care if that happens to them. They don't care if they have a detention. I have 10 coming in for lunch on Monday and they think it's funny. I have made 5 of the 10 calls. Some parents will care, some don't. I had a student today who was so rude and awful. He was so negative and argued against everything I was teaching. Anytime I told him...See MoreI teach 7th and 8th grade middle school at a K-8 school.

I have 10 coming in for lunch on Monday and they think it's funny. I have made 5 of the 10 calls. Some parents will care, some don't. I had a student today who was so rude and awful. He was so negative and argued against everything I was teaching. Anytime I told him to listen, he would argue. This was really what set the other students off. It was like almost each one became disrespectful. My quiet one was turned around in her seat--the one who usually listens. I had a girl make noises while I was giving a lesson. I had a student doing something else. I kind of raised my voice, but not really. I told them they all needed to listen. It was just too many at once. I didn't have anything immediate enough, but I did pass out behavior tickets to the students who were doing well. Well when I called the principal to see if she could have the disrespectful boy sit by here, she said "no". I almost wanted to cry. What are some consequences that I can have that are in my class and I don't need the principal?????????????????????? It would have to work for middle school. The kids don't listen. If they drop something on the floor, the logical consequence is to pick it up. The boy would not pick it up. Well, what happens then? He got a lunch detention. He didn't show up today. I will call home, but is it crazy I can't get my principal's help?
