3N1: This is the 2nd week I'm taking them. Not the full group of students. Most of them are willing to learn. They paid full attention during my lessons. Only 3 of the boys tried to test me. It's alright to me. They were quite rude, making unnecessary noises and asked questions which were not related to what I was teaching about. If the questions were related to school roles or other topics they have learnt before, fine, I would provide them with the correct answers. I discussed with the whole group of students together. Ha Ha happened that they were always in the wrong. Most of the time they admitted though they were not happy. I had one to one conversation to the 3 of them. They listened and agreed with what I've said.
Two of them 'preferred' to stand for about 20 mins and refused to apologied. I let them made their decision.
We now behind time as they were quite slow, they didn't undersdtand for most of the theory taught before. We have to re-visit these topics. It's alright.
I feedback to their new form teacher as well as the HOD. we have to work hand-in-hand to help them. I don't give-up, nor give-in. All the best to us--Teachers & students!!!

The boys you mentioned in your class are notorious for being difficult, not only to you, but to many teachers who had experience with them. They were also very rude to me when I taught them last year in my Art class.
What I did was not to let their (minority of the class) misbehaviour distract my lesson for the rest of the class. Like you had mentioned, many others are there ready to learn. I isolated the distracting boys and served them punishement for not doing their work. At least the rest of the class got to continue with their work.
The situation improved after a few months when the boys felt that (I presume) I have nothing personally against them, and that it is just purely professional that they are being punished for not doing their work/being rude, etc. It got better when they tried to spend their time doing morework in class. It was never perfect, but got much better as compared to when we started the year.
Do continue working together with our fellow colleagues as it is so much easier if we can support one another. And do take care and be mindful of your own health and not be overly affected by some of these troubled youths.
