If your having trouble with your students follow these rules:
- Firstly, call them up and tell them you know what they've been doing wrong, and they better stop or the situation will escalate. You could say things like 'I will be keeping an eye on you' and 'The slightest word of you and you will be regretting your actions'. If you are in secondary school give them a break-time or lunchtime detention depending on how large the situation is.
- Secondly, there is two routes, the secondary school route and the primary school route. The secondary school route is an after-school or, for those that had a break-time detention in Step 1, a full lunchtime. (It may seem irrational but they need to know that your not a teacher to be pushed around) The primary school route is to keep them in at break-time.
- Thirdly, in secondary school you must tell the pupils head of year exactly what has been going on. Once they return from the head of year give them two consecutive full lunchtime detentions. If you work in a primary school, inform the deputy head.
- Fourthly, if you are in secondary school, tell the head of year and deputy head, and give them three consecutive half-lunch detentions and a break-time. For a primary school teacher, tell the head. This is the end of the primary school route.
- Finally, tell the headteacher, and suggest a full-day punishment. If your suggestion is declined, give the students five consecutive half-lunch detentions, and two break-time detentions in a different week.
