Are you actually allowed to discipline children?\n\nHere in the UK if a teacher disciplines a child they run the risk of being reported for child abuse or contravening the childs human rights.  For example - any contact between teacher and child is assault, there was a case in the news a few days ago where the parents had to be called in to stick a plaster on a child.\n\nShort of talking to them or getting used to the noise I guess there isn't much that you can do other than stick some headphones on.

You might consider talking with her and sharing your concerns. If you aren't satisfied with the way it went, you could ask for some help by getting someone to mediate. \n\nIf all else fails, you might want to take on the approach that its her duty as a teacher to teach and yours as a student to learn. We can't always get along with everyone, even as adults. And sometimes all we can do is try to get through uncomfortable situations that aren't in our control to change.\n\nI do commend you on taking responsibility for your own actions. Kudos for you :)

well sometimes they can distract you from getting an education.. but maybe work out a deal with your principal.. say "how about if we all work hard this week.. can we bring our mp3s for just a couple days and if we abuse our privledge then you can take them away again?" i dunno.. it might work. i always bargain with my teachers

Done it !! I think it's a good idea in principle, as long as the teacher doesn't need to gain your attention and you can prove by the quality of your work that the music doesn't distract you.  I put my ipod on when I want to work without being disturbed so why shouldn't you be able to.

I'd say your best bet would be to give up your profession.\nAnd get into the grind for youself.  You know what 'they' say.  Experience is the best teacher.  Than you'd surely know how to keep your bitches ignorant and happy at the same time.

Man, I was going through the samething with this really obnoxious girl once. I feel your pain. my plan of dealing with people like him is to stay clear of them. It might not be easy at first but once you keep avoiding and stay clear of him overtime he won't be a problem, and talk to your teacher about changing your seat, tell him/her that you have problems with this kid and that you don't get along with him that should help, and if that doesn't work well, you before taking things into your own hands try the plan first.

If you don't want to get stuck in the middle then go to the principle and speak to him privately letting him know that you wish to remain anonymous. Just please don't let it slide because she is a "friend". What other things does she do that you don't know about?! Most importantly, WHAT KIND OF TEACHER IS SHE?! I'm sure none of us would want her teaching our children. Save our children and your colleagues and yourself and do the right thing.

There should be an effective listening skills course. As a higher ed prof, I have taken several courses on it, but in our K-12 system in the US, I think it is largely overlooked. The K-12ers seem to be so intent on teaching what they have to that they don't seem to be listening to our children.

Got some examples of what they're doing?  I can give specifics with how to deal with the situation if I knew.  Otherwise, go off on them--make it loud, don't beat around the bush, make sure you do it while others are present, and tell that individual you're tired of putting up with the childish BS.  If that doesn't work, report them to your supervisor, and document each instance in case you need to file legally (it's called a hostile work environment).  This is my suggestion, since my preferred tactics for this type of scenario aren't for everyone.

Good point, but if you have a complaint about the ways a school teaches, try talking the school board or school administrators.\n\n;-)

first of all, make sure your spelling and grammar are correct...otherwise, the principal may think you need more class time.  also, list your reasons clearly and concisely--even in a bulleted list--so that both you and the principal can refer to any particular one that concerns you.  don't be a wise guy--no adult likes that when there's a serious matter on the table.  and it really couldn't hurt one bit to use a little flattery--defer to his/her knowledge, but be clear about your own reasons to want to continue going on field trips.  learning outside the classroom makes some things easier to understand.  using your senses (touch, hearing, sight, etc.) often is the best way to learn something.  good luck...let us know what happens!!

Just dont say anything just look at them and say NO, I dont feel like playing your silly little game. Cya later. Then get up and walk(dont run) out of the room. If unable to leave the room just pick up a book and start reading. They have no control over you and connot "make" you do this. They are not teachers and you dont "have" to answer them. Stand up for yourself, If you won't no one else will either.

Try talking first; give them the benefit of the doubt that they don't know they're bothering you.  I always say something vaguely guilt-inducing like "I'm sure you would never intend to be loud, but these buildings are really old and the walls are thin, and I can hear a lot."

Give them less homework and try to make it more fun. Give less paperwork and more interesting projects. Try to be more creative with it. I know kids can be very difficult to teach these days. Good luck!
