Shanelle, one of your students, is loud and prone to leading the other students in minor misbehavior – chatting, dawdling, or passing notes. She's like a rain cloud…whatever students she's around are likely to be unhappy or engaged in some sort of conflict. By comparison, Eldon, another student in your class, seems "easy" to manage… he is extremely quiet and helpful and generally gets along
well with people, although he does seem to do a fair amount of daydreaming and sometimes avoids his work. Sometimes you even forget he's in your class. In terms of management concerns,
a. Shanelle and Eldon both present reasons for concern, and, as their teacher, you must address both Shanelle's misbehavior and Eldon's work avoidance.
b. Shanelle presents a bigger problem than Eldon, because her misbehavior is so evident and so disruptive to the other students' learning.
c. Eldon presents a bigger problem than Shanelle, because her behaviors are overt, and his are so subtle that you might miss them if you're not vigilant.
d. neither Shanelle nor Eldon seem to present significant problems and as their teacher, you can relax your guard a bit.
