The setting of my school is a very unique one. I walked in on the first day and was told that I have a horrible classroom. Horrible meaning that they have the most write ups in the whole school. When I heard this I automatically thought about parenting and their early development with social skills and behaving properly. Although I will not get to know their parents and their parental styles through my four weeks of observations, I am excited to notice changes in the students behaviors. There is a wide variety of students in my classroom, this includes very well behaved students who are proficient in their studies and students who can not go without disrupting the class for a period of 10 minutes. The students who are well behaved, I would believe that they have had proper parenting leading to proper development of the students learning skills. The opposite goes for the other students who are not able to focus on their studies. I would chalk most of this up to parenting styles because of the age of my students. However when I look deeper, I notice that there are multiple students who likely have some sort of learning disability. This could be a large factor involving the outbursts and failed learning tactics as well.
