speaking firmly and calmly - we do not want to hear (inappropriate words by students) - repeat
let him know that he is in the wrong
teachers do not get angry with the student (knowing his
background, do not take it personally)
Ensure other classmates remain serious - do not respond, do
not let them think it is "fun"
Asking pupils if they want to "repeat" the inappropriate words they have just said. Most would be shocked and not repeat. Teacher reiterate to say that what was said was inappropriate

Be cool about it. De-escalate the situation by first finding out the root of the problem to see if there is a misunderstanding that is hindering TSR. When a mutual understanding is reached, correct the action.

Wait for a while for the child to cool down before addressing the action by reasoning out with the child.

Report the child for adults more familiar with him to deal with him first, then seek him out when things have cooled down to talk things out.

When a child is beyond correction, exercise self-control and leave him be.

1. Focus on the behaviour not them as a person
eg. I did not say I don't like you. I do not like your behaviour.
2. Let the matter rest at the moment, and speak to the boy individually after class.
3. Emotional check in - acknowledge that we sometimes to school with different moods and emotions.
4. inform the class that such a behaviour is not accepted, but talk to that person individually at the end of the lesson. Ensure that at the end of it, the class sees us talking to him.

1. React with anger
2. Force the student to apologise on the spot - it may lead to a confrontation. Better to address it separately after class in private.
3. Address it too privately in a place that there are no witnesses - if accused, it can be your word against his.

- stay calm
- ignore situation first, speak to the person individually in private. Some may have special needs who need to be dealt with privately.
- some of them grew up in family that speak abusively. They need to be told that it is not the appropriate way to speak.
- change subject and do not have a head-on clash with the offender.

- lose cool
- fight fire with fire, energy zapping

- Avoid power struggle
- Address the issue separately with the boy at a suitable time e.g. when the rest are doing their work
- Address the class as a whole why you chose to 'ignore' the behaviour at later time
- Act accordingly depending on the situation i.e. if the child has special needs or is challenging authority

1) Teacher should not be angry with the boy as it is not personal. Teacher may talk to the boy one-to-one.

2) Teacher should not engage with the boy's behaviour as lesson time will be affected. Tell the class that you would address the boy later.

3) Do not raise our voice. It may agitate the boy further and make the situation worse.

4) Avoid using sarcasm with younger pupils as they may not understand it.
