bad kids....
After reading 31 I dont know why but I kept thinking back to a class I had here at UWM about inclusion in the classroom and I know that may not have been Derek's case that he had special needs or was dyslexic or had add but did anyone ever ask him what was wrong and why he couldn't behave? In my inclusion class, our teacher showed us a clip of a speaker named Jonathon Mooney and I tried all night to find this movie so I could attach it but I just couldn't find it anywhere. Anyways, he was always told he was a bad student and how he'll never amount to anything besides for working at McDonalds, just because his habits that he had (that actually made it easier for him to concentrate) were annoying the teacher and then the teacher would get upset that he was disobediant when really he was tapping his pen and figeting because he was actually tryign to concentrate. I think we as teachers need to think of kids like Jonathon when coming to decisions such as expelsion and suspension. Are these kids really "bad" or do they just have different habits? Obviously something is wrong, we just need to take the time out to help them instead of writing these kids off as "bad goods."

I totally agree. Teacher's attitudes and actions towards their students do not go unnoticed by the students. It a teacher is acting as if the student will never amount to anything, the student will get that vibe and probably begin to think the same thing. It is important for the teacher to keep their attitude and and actions in check and make sure to treat each child with equity.
Students sometimes cannot help their "bad" behaviors, teachers need to be aware of the child's circumstances. For example, they may have many stressors in their home life that are affecting their behavior in school. As a future teacher, I will need to make sure that I get to know every student and family and know the circumstances at home so that I can work with the challenging behavior and come up with a way to manage the challenging behavior so the students can be successful.
