HOW DO YOU HANDLE RICH RUDE STUDENTS?
HOW DO YOU HANDLE RICH RUDE STUDENTS?
As you know, society is mixed with people of varying social classes such that in every institution, you’d always discover that people aren’t just on the same level.
As a teacher or school administrator, you will agree with me that all students don’t have similar backgrounds. Some are not quite wealthy, some are very wealthy while some are somewhere in-between. However, it’s most times the students who are from very privileged homes who cause mayhem in school.
This is a tricky situation for you as a teacher or administrator in a premium school because while you want to maintain discipline among the students you also don’t want to offend the student’s parents.
However, when it comes to human behavior, the right approach solves the toughest of attitudes. Or at least reduces its occurrence. To handle such experiences, you have to understand that the children of the rich will never behave like those who are not from a very wealthy background. The sense of excess security and bloated ego will also get in the way, as a teacher, see beyond this nature to take them as children in need of care and attention too. They’re not behaving that way because they’re bad but are only replicating the peculiarities of their brought up.
Caution them when they’re wrong, avoid making them or any child your favorite, make guided friendships with them because most of them don’t enjoy enough time with their busy parents.
Avoid excessive complaints and criticisms because no one ever adjusts positively after criticism, we only get more defensive.
Handling rude behavior from students of wealthy backgrounds comes off easy when you understand and utilize these principles.
Enjoy great moments with your students henceforth!
