What would you do if your student used bad words or curse words in front of you?
Today, in my study room, my friends and I talked about this hypothetical situation (which is highly likely to happen in the classroom)
Suppose during class, a student behaved mischieviously/used innapropriate language, and you as the teacher called him/her up to the front of the class. Then you proceed to discipline the student. But the student, who unwillingly came over to the teacher, said "Who the fuck are you! Mind your own business."
Under these circumstances, what would you do as the teacher?
That was the hypothetical scenario we discussed.
I thought that although that would be really embarrassing, the teacher should not respond emotionally to the student. If the teacher showed his resentment to the student and to the class, then, the wrong-doing student would fight against the teacher.
The student, who used bad words, is poised to fight and wants to get attention. So the teacher should not give him negative reinforcement or attention.
