Where to start? Our two behavior problems are digressing. I feel like though we have made some progress with one of these children, however, I have to ask myself can this really be called progress when they are not participating in class, disrupt the class because they are talking to each other and completely ignoring the teacher. How do you deal with these kids?! Though I feel that all of our time and enegry has been put into these two kids, and we have been focused on trying to modify their behavior, I feel like it is November, we have nothing to show for it because they are basically doing no work and ignoring the teacher and now the rest of the class has become a management nightmare. How many different ways do you tell the classroom to be quiet, especially when they see these two kids basically getting away with anything and everything. I feel that drastic measures need to be taken but now I feel at a loss to what other things we can do.
On top of all this is report cards and we are Assessing, assessing assessing! So me and my coteacher are trying to assess and continue with our guided reading groups, but how can we listen to the groups of children that we are working with if we are constantly having to ask children to quiet down!
I really like teaching, but I really don't want these two boys in our classroom. I keep talking to other teachers at my school and they all agree that those two boys should not be together, because they like to egg each other on and they try to one up each other, my co teacher keeps saying, we will make the recommendation to separate them for next year and we'll just suffer through this one, but I DON'T WANT TO SUFFER THROUGH THIS YEAR!
I feel like a baby about this but I feel that I am getting to the point that either one of them has got to go or I do.
