[Teachldsseminary] Seminary trouble
HEATHER BECK

Mon Oct 9 18:16:21 MDT 2006
I set up the class room in a way that the students didn't have their backpacks near them.
It really saved on prolbems.
When the students enter the room havea place where purses and back packs go and whatever else they might have with them.
I ask that all cell phones either be left in the car or backpack and on slient.
This is the Lords time. I tell them for 1hour each day give him his time and respect.
It was so wonderful, and there were next to no trouble from that point on. It worked greaat for 10 years.

They come in late, switch seats, talk, throw papers at other students, want to leave (or do leave) in the middle of class to roam halls (and are often corraled and come back), text-message on phones, etc. In general, they are disrupting class, A LOT! My teammate teacher and I are not sure what we can do about this. (We do not teach together, but trade, with one teaching 3 times per week, another twice. I confess the class is a bit better for me, but the "problem students" still misbehave for me too.) This class has also been a problem for other teachers prior to this year. This a class of Jrs and Seniors. The "disruptors" are for the most part 3 junior-age boys, with one senior-age girl.

> IMO, involve the parents immediately AND the bishop. I was having a real

> there by 630 (or so).
>
> With involving the parents and the bishop the problem resolved itself almost
> immediately.
>
> With your bunch, here are some random ideas that might help:
>
> Have some lessons specifically on reverence and respect for Deity and one
> another as children of God. Point out why you are having the lessons.
>
> Involve the unruly kids in giving the lesson somehow (write on the board,
> pass out handouts, tally up responses to a quiz or poll, anything to get
> them involved actively in something positive).
>
> Don't ignore the behavior (take this advice with discretion) - sometimes
> some things should be ignored or it reinforces the behavior. But sometimes
> they need to be called on it.
>
> Invite their parents to attend seminary with them - tell them why.
>
> Invite a member of the bishopric to attend seminary for a while - tell them
> why.
>
> Reinforce reading of the scriptures on an individual basis, emphasize it.
> When these kids can immerse themselves in the holy word, changes happen

> of my "trouble" kids in charge of keeping track of everyone's private
> reading and keeping a reading chart for each student, that it inspired him

> a mission shortly!
>
> The message is the Lord's - don't take things personally. Don't think or

>
> Use peer pressure where ever you can. Have the students try their influence
> with the unruly ones - that works sometimes.
>
> We used to have a stuffed monkey with a t-shirt that said Goofing off in NY

>
> I had one student who gradually stopped coming in at all. She would hang
