Teachers often become angry with students who are disrespectful in the classroom. When teachers cannot hide their negative thoughts, students can sense it. This sabotages teachers' ability to help the students or effectively manage the classroom. The teacher's anger may result in a loss of self-control and physically touching the student, which creates a more serious situation.
A healthy school climate and high teacher morale are related. Job satisfaction among teachers depends on positive working conditions. When students are constant discipline problems and teachers do not have administrative support, teachers become discouraged and less motivated. It also reduces professional enthusiasm and is a source of discouragement. This can result in emotional and physical fatigue on the part of a teacher.
Belligerent students can create fear and anxiety among other students and distract them from their schoolwork, causing the teacher to use valuable classroom time to dispel disruptions. Offenses, such as repeatedly leaving the classroom without permission, making loud noises, physically threatening or personally insulting the teacher are all distractions that require immediate disciplinary actions. When cases merit it, students should be removed from the classroom and reprimanded by another authority.
In a study by researchers at Sam Houston State University in Huntsville, Texas, and Texas A & M University in Kingsville, Texas, student discipline was one of the most influential factors in teacher attrition. Common complaints were that students are rude, lazy and have no discipline or self-control, which teachers say makes teaching nearly impossible. Stress and worry over their inability to control unruly students cause teachers to lose sleep. Some teachers feel that since the administration does not want to deal directly with students' behavior problems, they blame the teacher.
