Yes, that is a tough question. I think a good place to start something like this, would be the school counslor. I know I spelled that wrong, major mind block right now..anyway, I think that it would be a good idea to get the counslors involved with these students. Maybe make it a point to address that problems that the students are having at home, or in school. There is a lot of peer pressure at this stage of the game, and I think maybe they don't have a great enviornment at home. What I'm saying is, there could be a lot of reasons why the students would act up. Maybe after seeing the counslor, if he/she is concerned about things, they could call the parent and teachers..get them involved in the whole picture. I'm not sure if you can actually teach kids respect at this level, but sometimes..it's better to get things out in the open. Perhaps, no one is giving them any respect, ya know? I believe respect goes both ways. That was a very good question, and please don't mind my rambling. I had a lot of things running through my head as I was typing. I may of missed your last post, but do you have any good ideas about this?
