Eye control at class is very necessary But , I think that's not enough sometimes especially with the rude students and they need something else to put them under control .. for example, I use all the techniques for that such as the body language so that I ask him/her to stop making noise or warning directly that who cause that interruption of the lesson sometimes I use some kinds of punishment
Concerning, The techniques that are mentioned in the report I use all of them and they're workable. I never start my lesson before the noise's stopped even the time is over
According to me
I used all the techniques
In my first years of teaching I used to be a very nervous teacher that I used to shout in the students faces for trivial mistakes…. I've my experience by myself nobody guided me … In fact, I suffered because I was a new teacher with very no experience . Now, I 'm a new one … A stronger teacher full of patience, creative and with more best experience
I'm treating my students in different ways that's depends on the character of each student
Well !!!! "While trying to cope with a difficult classroom situation that seems like hell, stop and take a few seconds of time out" I completely agree
I never start my lesson before my student stop making noise and if they do it while I'm explaining the lesson I stop it till they calm down , try it that is useful in all the levels when the time of the lesson getting shorter they understand that their noise is in the wrong time … If they don't stop making the noise I've another strategy and my students never like it
When I feel that stopping the lesson is not workable
I asked the noisiest student to go to the board and I order to explain the lesson
I give him/ her the pen, brush, book if possible and I told him her that he she is the teacher because I suppose that he she is explaining the lesson
And I go to her his place to sit down and asked his colleagues to copy the lesson that he she normally explain
No one of my students like this strategy and that class never make noise again during the whole year
Because in my point of view , two teachers never explain the lesson in one class at the same time????
And my students never making noise they just explaining the lesson to each other
Heheheehheh
