Situation: A student comes to class who is obviously on drugs or drunk. John replied that Mary had missed the test and went on to speculate about its impact on her grade. The man identified himself as Mary’s father, told John that Mary was not home, then asked the nature of the call. John identified himself as Mary’s professor and asked for her. After the exam, John telephoned her at the number she had provided on her student profile. Mary, a traditional-age student, was a “no-show” who had also missed the previous week. In the fourth week of the term, he administered the first exam. Situation: John recently began teaching at USF. You are reviewing student postings and discover inappropriate language and sexual references to persons being discussed. Situation: You’ve assigned on-line discussion groups. Other students in the class overhear your conversation and start to whisper among themselves. He can’t take the test within the time allotted, can’t turn in assignments on time, or can’t take notes, etc. Situation: A student approaches you and tells you that he has ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder). He continues to be a disruption to you as you review the test. He believes that the questions were not what had been covered in the class and in homework assignments. Situation: Bill, complains in a very belligerent manner in class about the type of questions on an exam. Gonzalez, her mathematics teacher, finds out that Darla’s parents are in the process of getting a divorce. In class, she seems distracted and not herself. Situation: Since November, Darla’s grades have suddenly dropped from a “B+” to a “D” average. He has consistently earned A’s on all the tests and assigned projects, and you suspect that the work is simply not challenging enough for him. He has spent most of the rest of his class time bothering the girls in the row ahead of him. Situation: Emilio often looks bored in class and today, like many days, he finished his work long before the other students.
Randy … is getting ready to graduate, but if he fails his classes, he won’t be able to graduate … (Prentiss) His other teachers have all noticed and have discussed it- they feel that if Randy cares enough to learn, he will stay awake and pay attention in class. He is falling asleep in most of his classes. Situation: Randy has recently been hired in a part-time job and has to work until midnight four nights a week. He misses a lot of instruction time because he is gone for 10 to 15 minutes at a time. He asks to go to the bathroom about 20 minutes into class. Situation: Derek is early to class every day, but since he comes there from lunch, he needs to go to the bathroom during the class time. It starts small with a minor put-down, but soon grows as each student escalates the conflict with greater and more significant put downs. Situation: As you are teaching, a handful of students find themselves being pulled into a negative interaction. Situation: As you are lecturing, three girls in the class begin to pass a make-up set among one another, and use it when you are not looking. You have a rule against cheating in your class. It is obvious that they are trying to cheat. You see one of your students copying answers from a neighbor. One of your students is acting particularly silly, raising a hand and offering flippant and irresponsibly incorrect answers. Situation: You are asking your class deeper-level questions to help them process a lesson you are teaching. You have warned the students to stop but the pestering has not lessened.
At one table one of the more fidgety students is pestering one of the other students at the table (e.g., taking things off her desk, staring at her paper, etc.).

What would you do differently, now that you know more about classroom management?
