Common Problems in the classroom

There are many problems that teachers face  every day in a class. First, we have aggressive students. Aggressive students represent a big challence for the teacher because sometimes they cannot manage this situation. The most common behaviour of an agressive student can be that they do not like teachers call their attetion, and if they do it they do not care about what the teacher is saying, so that is a really uncomfortable enviroment in the class. So the possible solution for this problem can be to create a behavioural reminder. This can help students not to behave in a bad way because the teacher has already established commands in order to avoid those situations. 

Another problem is Later Comers. Later comers create a big distraction in the class because the teacher get lost of the points or the instructions they are giving at that moment. So it is really important for teachers to clarify the things students cannot do to avoid this distractions; for example, teachers can give that directions at the beginning of the course. 

In addition, there students that are unclear of the things they have to do, or maybe they are

doing something  different of what the teacher tell him or her to do. It is important that teachers make sure that they are giving clear directions, and also if the activity the teacher is developing is too hard to understand for the level the teacher is teaching; for example, if the teachers are working with children they should not use difficult vocabulaty or to use a lot of technical words because in that way children are not going to understand you and they are always be lost during the class. On the other hand, you cannot call the attention to adolescent in the same way as children.

In sum, it is a matter of a good communication between teachers and students to create a good enviroment in the class.
