There are a number of articles dealing with classroom management here under the category of Classroom Discipline. However, there is a certain kind of kid who is in a category by himself and those I call pigs. I don’t know why I use that term. It doesn’t matter. There is therefore a Pigs category here, for the extreme discipline problem.
Now that some of us have a few weeks of teaching under our belts, and some are just beginning, we might be well advised to look at the Pigs category here, in case we have one of these rare oppositionally defiant kids in our rooms. My advice is to act immediately and aggressively with such kids.
If an intruder comes into our house in the middle of the night, we don’t go back to sleep and hope he goes away. We act. At least I hope we do because the safety of our family is in question.
In the same way, there are those few kids who function as intruders in our classrooms and should not be allowed and we have to act to get them out. They will not go away and they will ruin the instruction for the other kids if we think we can fix them.
