Other students are not distracted by what the off-task student is doing. Instead, they are interestingly engaged in the lesson you are delivering.<\/p>\n<p>Leave well enough along. Attempting to get the student back on task while you are reading, or teaching other students a vitally important subject will interfere with the flow of the lesson, plus drain you of much needed energy for teaching the rest of the day.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>When not to Tolerate<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>However, teacher tolerance has its place. You must not allow students to interrupt the <a href=\"https:\/\/poweredutoday.com\/establish-effective-teaching-curriculum\/\">lesson<\/a> plan or interfere with the learning of others. If a student is touching others, talking loudly, or doing anything that is taking away the attention of others, you must not tolerate such behavior. Such students need some form of discipline.<\/p>\n<p>For example, if you are getting the class ready to review for an important exam design to measure student progress in a particually subject area. This could be math, English, reading, social studies or science.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Immediate Response<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>If a student starts complaining about the exam and making deliberate noises which disturbs the focus of other students, you must confront the student and warn him that his behavior will not be tolerated and that the next step will be a visit to the behavior room or the principal\u2019s office.<\/p>\n<p>Tolerating such behavior, even for a minute, is detrimental to your entire classroom. Misbehavior spreads when it is not strongly confronted. Teachers whose classrooms are highly disruptive haven&#8217;t established an identity as a confident authority in the classroom. Something is holding them back, either low self-confidence or intimidation.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>The Bottom line<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Therefore, teaching tolerance can be negative or positive, depending on the situation which the teaching is faced with.<\/p>\n<p>Teacher tolerance can be very valuable when done the right way. You can educate students with minimum disruption, but teacher tolerance can be very harmful to you and your students if you stand back when your decisiveness is mandatory for the peaceful resolution of a classroom problem.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"border-radius: 2px; text-indent: 20px; width: auto; padding: 0px 4px 0px 0px; text-align: center; font: bold 11px\/20px 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #ffffff; background: #bd081c no-repeat scroll 3px 50% \/ 14px 14px; position: absolute; opacity: 1; z-index: 8675309; display: none; cursor: pointer;\">Save<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"border-radius: 2px; text-indent: 20px; width: auto; padding: 0px 4px 0px 0px; text-align: center; font: bold 11px\/20px 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #ffffff; background: #bd081c no-repeat scroll 3px 50% \/ 14px 14px; position: absolute; opacity: 1; z-index: 8675309; display: none; cursor: pointer;\">Save<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"border-radius: 2px; text-indent: 20px; width: auto; padding: 0px 4px 0px 0px; text-align: center; font: bold 11px\/20px 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #ffffff; background: #bd081c  no-repeat scroll 3px 50% \/ 14px 14px; position: absolute; opacity: 1; z-index: 8675309; display: none; cursor: pointer;\">Save<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Teacher tolerance is a must if you want to run an effective learning environment without becoming overly exhausted.
