Is there such a thing as lunch time supervisor rehab? If so, I need to go!
The kids are increasingly turning a deaf ear and blind eye to me. Sigh. One on one, they listen and we are kosher. As a class - foregetabouit!
Things I have tried to date and their results:
- Yelling. Result: Sore throat.
- Public Shaming (i.e. putting list on board of students mis behaving for teacher to follow up on). Result: Long lists.
- Three strikes - then you go in the hallway. Result: Kids in hallway looking bored. No effect on kids in classroom.
- Threat of detention. Result: Not much 'cause I have to be outside. Which means finding a teacher to do detention. And they are all on lunch.
- Look threatening. Theory goes that if you stand quietly they will begin to notice and settle down 'cause they know they are in trouble. Result: I stand quietly looking like a dorkus while kids act like heathens.
Thus, I am a lunchtime supervisor failure.
