One Classroom Policy that Haven't Existed Yet
Student-Teacher Relationship
Student-Teacher Relationship
The teacher student relationship is very important for the students. Students spend 5 to 7 hours everyday with a teacher for almost 10 months. A positive relationship between the teacher and the student is difficult to build. Children have different ways for learning and achieving their goals. There will be students in the classroom that will absorb the lesson or that will learn quickly but at the same time there will be students who have to be repeatedly taught using different strategies and techniques or ways for the student to be able to understand the said lesson.
A teacher must really monitor the students so that he or she will be aware of the difficulties or the problem that the students encounter. When the teacher becomes aware of the problems he or she will have more patience with the student and it will let the child feel secured and okay. Teachers can establish a positive relationship with their students by communicating with them and properly providing feedback to them. Respect between teacher and student will build a very good and positive relationship in teaching and learning. Establishing a positive relationship with students will encourage students to seek education and be good or do well in school.

UNRULY BEHAVIOR of the Students
Unruly Behavior- giving corporal punishment to unmanageable students is a big no-no for teachers, what are the other ways to tame such kind of students?
Unruly Behavior - Difficult or impossible to discipline, control, or rule.
What are the other ways to tame such kind of students?
Before, students or children are disciplined trough spanking or giving them punishments but nowadays parents are trying a gentler approach to defuse the unruly behavior of their children.
The best way to tame unruly behaviors of the students are:
- The first thing that you should do is to identify the behavior of the student
- Explain how it is disrupting the flow of the class session
- Stare at them until they pay attention
- Speak to them during break and nicely ask them to pay attention.
- Agree on specific house rules before you begin.
- Ask them to leave if they don't follow your rules and lastly
- Control your emotions
Maybe with those rules students will behave and listen to the teacher.
CHEATING
CHEATING- As future teachers, what do you think are the measures to use in order to minimize the case of cheating.
CHEATING refers to an immoral way of achieving a goal, such as cheating on an exam.
As future teachers, what do you think are the measures to use in order to minimize the case of cheating?
Teachers cannot control the students or the behavior of the students. For me, teachers can still show that they care about the integrity of their classes by doing little things. For example space out students during exams like 1 seat apart or give different questions to different students. Give many short exams that are not written in the exercises of the book so that it would be difficult for a student to have help there all the time. Ask mastery type questions so that the student will know the material himself or herself in order to answer the questions and also ask the students to relate the subject matter to their own personal experiences or what we call life experiences.
ABSENTEEISM Affects the Learning of the Students
ABSENTEEISM- how does it affect the student's learning. How to deal students with excessive absences.
How does it affect the student's learning?
Student absenteeism is a major concern for instructors or lecturers at their schools. Absences creates unpleasant classroom environment that makes students who come to come to their class uncomfortable and lecturers or instructors very irritable.
When students are absent from class they miss valuable information given by the instructors. Students who are always absent cannot participate well in class. It can also lead to poor grades.This is because students are not present to learn the material and perform poorly on tests.
Frequent classroom absences are statistically linked to later problems, such as dropping out, using drugs and tobacco, engaging in criminal activity and being unemployed. According to the Open Society Institute, the average student who drops out misses the equivalent of one year of school between 6th grade and the point of dropping out. (www.ehow.com/facts)
How to deal students with excessive absences?
Teacher should really check the attendance before starting the class and after the class. It is not the teachers fault if the students are absent but the problem is the students who were absent will be left behind by the daily lesson. Teachers have to adapt to classroom absences by grading old assignments and offering test retakes and also repeating instruction students missed. This slows down the overall pace of learning for all students in the classroom including those who were not absent.
