What Would You Do?
Scenario 2: During one of your planning times with your mentee, you just can't hold back anymore. You are at your wits end trying to tell your teacher what he should be doing in order to gain control of his students. He admits there's a problem, but just hasn't "fixed" the problem. You've shared everything you know in regards to great classroom management, and it works for you and your students, so you don't understand what the problem is with this teacher. What would you do?
