FINAL BLOG POST - OUR "DAILY TRIPLE" (DUE 12/1).
This week I would like you to use your imagination. You have just won the lottery and will leave your teaching post immediately to travel around the world. As you leave your keys you meet your replacement. You are asked to give this new teacher just ONE piece of advice. What would that be, and why? Enjoy your world expedition!
Blog Post - Week 7This past week in my own teaching I felt a little disconnected which prompts my question to you, "What was the moment (or moments) when I felt most disconnected or disengaged as a teacher - the moment(s) I said to myself, I'm just going through the motions here?"

Shane,
I think you should deal with this student as you would any other student disrupting class.In my second week of teaching as a new teacher I had a similar problem,I got a new student and the third day he was there I caught him on the computer looking at gay porn.There was no discussion I took him to the office and let them deal with the problem.I was too shocked to worry about reprocussions.He never returned to my classroom.Obviously he had already been in trouble for similar things.
I agree with Steve. However, if you think this student might accuse you of discrimination against him because he is gay, then I would recommend confronting this student about his behavior with a third and/or fourth party present-- i.e. a parent, guidance counselor, assistant principal, etc. Restrict your comments to his disruptive behavior, and avoid saying anything about his sexual orientation. Whew! this is really a tough one.
I also agree with Jessie. I think the main thing is to follow protacol. Call parents,talk with student with another teacher or someone from adminitsration. It is our job to control our class;but if someone disrupts it we must take care of the situation.

shane cant help you on this...on the blog anyway...i have never been accused of being politically correct and i dont try to be...the ADA used to always tell me my major fault was saying what i think...heck that was they way i was raised, tell the truth..good, bad, or indifferent always tell the truth...the way i see it, if you do that people always know where they stand with you...so for this blog i think it is best for me to excercise my 5th amendment right...
Deal with him as a "female" student...it makes it easy. Ask yourself what would you do if he was a she???? makes things less complicated. "SASSY"...that was such a funny choice of word!!!...LOL...LOL
I've had this exact same problem...and I treat everyone the same...consistency is the key
"Keep your nose clean" as BOE would say and request a meeting with parents and administration about his disturbances in your classroom. Make sure you are document EVERY time he does something and serve him detention.
Yes, treat him like the others.
