@xxdeathx Think you're on your own with this one kiddo ;-)

[Typhlosiondude]

there was once a teacher at my school, who left and i only had her a few times as a substitute teacher

and she once started the lesson yelling she went out of her way to yell, she yelled every chance she got.

Not all teachers should be teachers...

That kind of behavior though may be linked to outside stresses (Divorce, death in the family etc...)

I'm not allowed to do this at my school. Otherwise I would.

[ArtOfTeaching]

*huh?*

What about my advice would be "not allowed"? Yelling is mandatory?

[nickledndimed]

Actually when I want to speak, I just say "I'm waiting for 4 people to sit down. I'm waiting for 3 people to sit down. There are 2 more pairs of eyes not looking at me."

Conversely I also ask "can everyone stare at whoever it is that is stopping the rest of you from learning?"

I love your advice about not pushing your advice on the students, Thanks will share:o)

[tokyopiglet]

I am glad I finally found right teaqcher to talk about real cases!!

[N8tbog]

You seem like a nice teacher..

@ArtOfTeaching In many schools, mine included, we are not allowed to keep students after school (elementary). However, I used it for lunch and morning recess if I don't have yard duty. Thanks for the tip.

This 'time owed' system has worked well for me over the past while. The students know that when I look at my wrist watch, I'm adding time. Anything over 30 seconds wait time, they owe. I've noticed similar things - other students will prompt the restless few to quieten down. We have a traffic light system at work / school, personally I find that it fails to address behaviour in a timely fashion...that's a different story. Good video - thanks mate.

Thanks for putting this out there - I've had several teachers who made me hate schol (or at least that year of school) because they yelled too much...

One of these teachers also discriminated agianst me because I have Asperger's Syndrome, and would yell at me for disability-related behaviors and would let the class laugh at me. She never seemed to notice when I did something good...

Thanks again for this video! You rule!

@Afrikaisi731 Before you knock this idea (Assuming you are a teacher) speak to your administrator or supervisor and try it. This is only done with problematic classes, pretty rare if you have good classroom management. I teach little kids in my summers and this works well with them too.
