How to Respond When A Student Disrespects You

It's never easy to be and feel disrespected by a student. But the way you respond can make all the difference in reducing the behavior, as well as increasing your self-confidence, sense of self-worth, and dignity in the face of student disrespect. In today's video, I am sharing ways you can respond when a student disrespects you.

    The problem is, I've watched a gazillion youtube videos on classroom management and they all say "use your consequences" but that's the part I have trouble with. What should the consequences be? Nobody gives suggestions on consequences and as a new teacher, I don't know what to do. If there's no consequence, there's no classroom management. Edit: I'm coming back because I feel like my comment came across rude. I love your videos! I'm just frustrated, have a very difficult class and had a horrible day. I'm going to watch some of your other videos for ideas.

I wanted to find another approach, so thank you. I think a meeting should be had between me and the student. Even though I was minding my own business when all of a sudden that student said what are you doing to me bc I was sitting down thinking about what to do next and that student kept a grudge ever since, and tells my what she is not going to do.

    Some people are meant to be teachers. If you can't relate to the population, group, age group or race of where you are trying to teach, move on. Having Genuine Empathy for the young generation and their society are a must have. Not just to be there for your paycheck or your own benefits. I've been in the teaching fields for many years from K-12, and have seen too many BA degree teachers leave from one school to another for various reasons but mainly due to stress from children. So, if you want to teach, then teach and mean it well.

    Question: I’m an art teacher, in a school that has not had an art teacher in two years. I don’t work for the school I work for a nonprofit whenever I showed up for my first day admin just put me in a room 20 minutes before my first class, and gave me a schedule of classes. I have K4 through eighth grade., because I don’t work for the school teachers are supposed to sit in during the period, and a lot of my teachers are frustrated because specials are usually a planning time for them, so sometimes they just dump them. On top of that this is a school that is entirely behavior problems. There are some classes that I still have not been able to get through expectations and I’ve been seeing them for three weeks now. I should also mention that I have a couple of education credits, but I am not an accredited teacher. I’m working really hard to come up with fun lessons to fill our 40 minutes with, but sometimes teachers won’t even bring their class by the time that I do get them we only have 20 minutes left, or there are a few students who still are testing me and are being majorly disruptive. So my question is how do I navigate all the negativity towards my art program and also establish rules and boundaries in the little time that I do see the students?

  • @FeedTheirNeeds

    Hi Lacey, here are some suggestions: In regards to the negativity, ask to have friendly conversations with the teachers (1:1 if you can) to talk about what's happening on both sides. Let the goal be to work out expectations and actions (i.e. compromise) that both of you can take to make it work for everyone. Let them know your plan with the 40 minutes and maybe they can lesson plan or grade papers while in your classroom so they can see some benefit to being timely. To establish rules and boundaries you will have to teach, practice and give feedback. I have online 1 hour workshop that shows you how to set up a classroom management system that you can customize. I'll leave the link. When I say teach, I mean introduce your rules an expectations, support your teaching with activities (maybe an art project or cartoon that demonstrates the rules or one rule at time) , also it's important to be proactive and review the rules and/or expectations before activity (if you can do it in a fun/creative way). This effective especially in the beginning. Then provide consistent encouraging and constructive feedback when they follow or don't follow the rules/expectations. I would be happy to help you come up with something specific to your needs if you want. ROOTING FOR YOU!!!

    It's not just teachers.... We got them in my neighborhood. I had to go outside (because I heard a child cursing like a sailor) and told this 11 year old to stop cussing around the other children (my son is 7 and was out there). He was so horrible and rude. He's like, "I don't have to listen to you, you're not my mom and I can do whatever the hell I want!" Oh my gosh I couldn't believe it... I tried reasoning with him and explaining why he shouldn't curse. He absolutely didn't care. He just kept on and then I said, "I've never seen you in this neighborhood before, where's your mother?" He refused to tell me and just kept talking back. He was just awful... I literally ended up saying,"You're so rude and disrespectful! What kind of people are raising you!? You should just go back home because other parents don't want that behavior rubbing off on their children." 😅 My neighbor ended up coming out and saying he should stop with the foul language too...but he just spoke back to him too. I just can't believe it. Absolutely horrible kids and no respect for anyone. I just don't know what we're supposed to do outside of the classroom and home when we see them out running the streets and being so awful. Realistically there's no repercussions for them at all. I hate to say this.... But parents are failing these kids. That little boy had a brand new bike, a mohawk helmet... And so I know he's not going without. However his parents probably spoil him and ignore him which is why he's so awful.

  • @FeedTheirNeeds

    @FeedTheirNeeds

    6 ай бұрын

    Hi, when I say it's not ok and it will not be tolerated, that is communicating to the student that their behavior will not go unaddressed in my classroom. That also means there will be consistent consequences coming their way. Sometimes I feel like it's a student's job to make it seem like the consequence does not matter on the front end. The consequences I've used for even the most challenging students were not effective because they were severe but because I was consistent.

  • @Shinebright-by9dh

    The problem in many districts if not all, students is never to be blame and teachers cant give consequences, it is only on paper but not in real practice. I have been written up for making a student after numerous warning to behave and i made him standing facing the wall for 8 mins. written up for this is a serious matter because teacher are not allowed to give consequences, this will take away teachers authority to disicpline thus could result a teacher who is going to care less because of not want to deal with the principal.

    Hi, I think the key in your situation is to find strategies that work at your school. I know that having a student face the wall for 8 minutes would have never been supported at the different schools, I've worked in. That's why I provide typically school-approved examples in my workshops. I do have some videos on my channel that give specific consequences, maybe they could work for you.

Or who cares about this lesson it won't affect my grades. (I teach private lesson at a private school) so anyways, I will have to learn to work on my communication skills, and hopefully see a improvement.

    Honestly, I think the best approach is to be like Data in Star Trek-and android with no feelings but instead approach your assignment goals and classroom management strategies with patience and with a long-term mindset. Select one of several disrespecting students at a time for focus. Go through the tiers. Ask for private time to discuss. If that fails, talk to parents. If that fails, talk to admin and a parent conference. And if all that fails, repeat again and again until the student realizes you're just as steadfast at making their lives miserable as they are yours. In time they'll get the message.

    When teaching secondary school students I used to struggle with student backchat after I had alerted them of their disrespectful behaviour - I had many instances where students would follow up with 'i don't care' when I verbally corrected their behaviour, and I would pull them up on this which would escalate the issue further. Would it be better to ignore this and carry on with my teaching? And if so, I'm not sure if this would send the message to the rest of the class that it is acceptable to do this?

  • @FeedTheirNeeds

    @FeedTheirNeeds

    2 ай бұрын

    Hi, I don't know what "pull them up means", but when I am working towards shaping a specific behavior, a few things...(1) I fully expect students to respond negatively because change can be hard and they may be using this response to discourage me from keeping the boundary or expectation set. , so I don't not let those initial responses deter me (2) I make sure I have taught, modeled, possibly role played the replacement behaviors. (3) I continue to give feedback (correction, redirection or encouragement) consistently, however I may change the format to planned ignoring or signals to decrease the disruptive impact on the class. But also explaining ahead of time that just because I did not respond in the moment does not mean the behavior was not noticed or accepted. (4) I follow up with 1:1 conversations with the student to get an idea of why they are having difficulty or pre-determined mostly classroom-based consequences from my classroom management system. Hope you can pull some nuggets from this :)

  • @FeedTheirNeeds

    @FeedTheirNeeds

    9 ай бұрын

    When students communicate inappropriately, I tend to respond in 3 tiers. First time: I verbally correct the behavior, then redirect behavior. For example, " That's not acceptable (or you are being disrespectful/ inappropriate, etc.), instead you can say... or you can respond with (Fill In The Blank...) Second time: In the moment I will give the student options. For example, "Try again." or "Change your tone" or " You can... or be quiet." Later in the period or day, I will have a brief 1:1 conversation where I ask the student about the behavior, remind them of the expectation or rule then ask if they are willing to change their behavior or follow the direction. Third time: I may or may not verbally redirect briefly. But usually I simply implement a specific consequence from my classroom management system. I would probably communicate with the parent after the third time (which not a consequence from my perspective). I would involve the principal if the behavior significantly disrupts instruction for the class or if the behavior escalates to something more disruptive. Hope this helps:)

    It’s too late in the day to be trying to finesse this sort of nonsense. And if the kids don’t have any respect then it automatically follows that they don’t have any for you either. Kids who only respect physical violence are uneducable and perhaps belong in daycare for the maladjusted but certainly in nobody’s classroom. It is inevitable at this point that in person teachers will be automated out of existence, and that the only remaining teachers will be the ones inside the kid’s computers who perhaps consult with hundreds of kids per day. What the school will still have is custodians, security guards, child care works and perhaps one hourly tutor per computer lab, and these tutors will not be teachers who develop curriculum or lecture but merely help the kids when they get stuck. And there will no longer be grades either.
