The case is about the teacher John with his low achievement students Richards. Richards and high achievements (Chris) having and argument during the class and John try to solve the fight by separating in the class. After class, John wants to meet them to know what happened by calling both of them but only Chris comply and Richards just ran down to the corridor and turn to the corner.
John knew very little about Richards and he thought that he should not let Richards flagrant disobedience to go unaddressed. He decide to go look for Richards to talk but Richards is avoiding him. The next day, John give Richards a referral notice to see a vice principal for a conference with the principal. The referral meant that an automatically assigned afternoon detention period in his classroom for refusing to stop when he called.
After John made a decision by sending Richards to the referral and class detention. He gets a big trouble and against from Richards. Richards keep repeating the words why Chris doesnt get punishment and he hates John. Richards treated him and asked for fight. John really cannot handle the situation an felt a little bit failure. Finally he discovered that Richards has been attending class for students behaviour disorder for two year and yet he had not been problem in the class.
PROBLEM. -the teacher did not study the situation at class. - He has low efficiency and effectiveness of handling the class. - He make a mistakes for not knowing the real situation; why the clinical instructor always give individual written assignment rather than in group. -he shouldnt ask them to choose their own group. - He shouldnt take too harsh with Richars without knowing him closely. - He should know to have a teacher students relationship.
