Today in the junior class I was observing, the teacher handed out connector pens. Some kids started using them as guns and point them at others. Wouldn’t care but they were distracting each other. So I went around the room and collected the pens, and of course offender numero uno said,
“Whyyyyyyy?! That’s so rude of you!”
These kids just sit there talking or fidgeting the entire time and then when it comes to doing work, they’re clueless. The teacher didn’t do an awful lot of behaviour management because she didn’t want to take time out of the learning for the kids who actually wanted to be there. She also said having a seating plan makes them antagonise you more sometimes.
Ring leader of the disruptive kids was pulled out of class by the teacher. Turns out he forgot to take his ADHD meds today. This is the moment I realised why ADHD was most commonly looked at in boys. Girls tend to be less disruptive.
