Chapter 3
"...remember that students are often trying to make a point when they disrupt a high school classroom." (41)
I think this is one of the problems that many teachers will struggle with along the way. Instead of looking at the reasoning behind the student's disruptive behavior, many teachers will become annoyed or flustered that there is a classroom disruption, simply taking the actions of the student at face value. I know that I've seen students act up because they get caught up in the excitement of the material or get aggravated when they're trying to make a point that no one is understanding. Instead of treating classroom disruptions as mere behavioral problems I think that the teachers need to work with the individual students to address the motive behind their actions.
