family relations are internal. don't expose it others. be patient. love your mother. explain your feelings to her. tell her to be your guide and philosopher  for better life. still if she feels not wait till she cooperates with you.

CC talk to your school counselor (if you have one) and see what he or she says. If you don't have a school counselor- talk to a teacher you trust and see what she/he says. Your teacher knows you well- maybe the teacher can pinpoint what's going on and can make suggestions to help you.

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 :)

GET SOME COUNSELLING! -- if your parents don't support you, go to a guidance counsellor, a trusted teacher at school, a minister, a teen help phoneline, a women's crisis center -- YOU CANNOT RESOLVE THIS ON YOUR OWN DEAR!! (not on Y! Answers either)

I'm sorry you are having a tough time.  You probably are not teaching very much since both you and the other children are being so distracted.  Just tell yourself that this is affecting everyone, and it is okay to just STOP teaching if you have to, in order to deal with this situation.  You might even have to go back to the beginning and re-establish your role, the rules and consequences.  Pretend it's the first day of school again.  \nHere are some general ideas that have helped me:  \n\n1.  Find out what they want and take it away:  \n\nDo they thrive on attention from you?  Don't give them any.  When you have to discipline, be as calm and discreet as possible.  \n\nDo they thrive on attention from each other?  Separate them.  See if your director or another teacher can take a child when he is particularly unruly.  Then AS SOON as you see a negative behavior--remove them from the classroom.  \n\nDo they want control?  Give them choices that YOU can live with.  For example, if they use a bad word, say, "Do you want to say that again using nicer words, or do you want to sit by yourself?  (If they won't sit by themselves, unsupervised, don't give them that choice.  Maybe they could go sit with another teacher instead.)  \n\n2.  Make sure they understand what will happen if they misbehave.  Give them predictable consequences.  For example, when they make a mess, don't let them do anything until it is cleaned up.  You might have to go to extremes to let them know that you are serious.  If it is outside time, have your director or someone else sit with them in the classroom while they clean up instead of going outside.  If it is time to go home, leave the mess and make them clean it up the next day, first thing.    \n   \n3.  Just remember that you cannot control what these children do.  Only they can control their behaviors.  Your job is to set it up so that they WANT to behave nicely.  Make life miserable for them if they are bad, and glorious if they behave.  \n\n4.  Be as predictable and as consistant as possible.  Once you know they understand the consequences, don't let them get away with anything!  The phrase, "If you do that again..." should never leave your mouth.  Get them on their first offense.  \n\n5.  Hang in there!  It may seem like an overwhelming challenge right now, but it will get better little by little.  Take it one day at a time--even one situation at a time!  Remember they have to re-learn what to expect in your classroom.  Focus on the most distracting or dangerous behaviors first (like hitting or running away from you).  Take time to think about what your consequence will be and then just wait for it to happen.  They'll learn.  \n\nGOOD LUCK!

You definitely have a right to talk to a principal; they may be able to explain to the teacher that they need to change their methods.  If that doesn't work, you, your classmates, and/or your parents could talk to the principals and the school board of your area.  I know I've had horrible teachers like that.  I wish you the best.

Try taking the advice given here. Be prepared to march down to the school a lot to try to get this taken care of. Your grandkids CAN learn! Then, if none of that works, consider homeschooling, or have the parents consider homeschooling, whichever is more appropriate. Like some of these teachers said, they are trained to educate regular student, not special children. I know a boy with FAS and a myriad of other diagnoses, and when he was eight years old, he snuck out of a locked campus and was halfway home before his grandma was called and told he was missing. He had walked about five miles. Homeschooling gives you the advantage of knowing your grandson's individual problems. There are so many different types of problems going on in a special ed class, that I don't blame the teacher for being overwhelmed. Most special ed kids excel once they start being taught at home because they are in an environment they know, with loving caregivers who understand the complexities of their own disorders, and are able to work at their own pace. There's no distractions like there are in a classroom. It just seems to work. There are several place you can turn to to learn about homeschooling kids with special needs. Check yahoo groups, there's a lot. I'm on HS-Plus, and it's a really good group. Lots of different disorders being dealt with, FAE/FAS is a big one, so you'd get lots of help. I homeschool my autistic pre-schooler, and will be homeschooling my 'normal' little one, and any others that come along. Contact me if you'd like, I'd be more than happy to talk to you some more.

Whatever is going on in the homes is the problem so it's kind of hard to undo all of that.  You have to lay down your ground rules in your classroom & stick to it.  Consistency is very important with children of this age - so if you threaten consequences of some sort, follow through.  Be stern but loving - a lot of these kids do not experience love & attention at home & act out negatively in order to gain attention.  Pray for God to give you the strength each day to be patient & loving.  Pray for the kids & their families too.  God knows they need it!

Go to a community college for a year, make sure your grades are good, and then go wherever you want.  Tell your counselor that enouragement like theirs has no place in the education system.
