Having good behavior in school is not as fun as throwing balls when the teacher is facing away, but it has many benefits. Good behavior leaves a very good impression on teachers and school staff, who will be inclined to put in a good word if you get "caught" in some bad situation. An immaculate school "record" will improve your prospects of being admitted to college and also your prospects for a future job. To start building your good reputation at school, read below!
Steps
Method 1 of 3: Part One: Behaving in the Classroom
Step 1. Always listen
It is the most basic and easy thing to do well in school. When the teacher, principal or other school authority speak, you need to listen. Listen even if they don't speak directly to you (during an assembly for example.) Teachers' days pass between fights to keep the attention of kids who would rather read books, chat with friends, and play on cell phones. If you listen carefully, the teacher will notice and start thinking that you are a good student.
- Avoid asking to re-explain something that has just been well treated. You could make the teacher angry or frustrated. Instead, wait to approach him alone and say, "I'm sorry, but I think I need help to understand better."
- If you have a disturbance in attention or other problems that make it difficult for you to concentrate, remember to take your medications when you get up so you can concentrate.
Step 2. Follow the teacher's instructions
Teachers like to see their students treat them with respect. If you follow every advice and instruction, they may give you extra freedoms or privileges because they trust you. Also, always read their compendium and follow any specific teachings you may find. Many students forget to study it so pay special attention to it, giving you an advantage.
- For example, if your teacher says not to enter the classroom before he arrives, but your classmates have entered the class anyway, wait outside. If you are the only one doing this, the teacher will remember you as the one who follows the rules.
- Some teachers like to give vague and evasive advice on who is listening and who is not. If yours says something unusual like "make sure you study this weekend," take note: there will be a test on Monday. You will look great because you will be prepared.
Step 3. Work for good grades
We all have weaknesses and strengths academically, don't worry if you don't get the average of 9. It is more important to show your teacher that you are doing your best. Ask smart questions in class. If there is something that is difficult for you to understand, meet the teacher after school.
- Your willingness to seek help will show him that you take the lessons seriously. A student who is clearly committed to the subject will be considered most favorably when it is time to assign merits, credits, etc.
- If you have any problems, do not hesitate to ask teachers and tutors for advice. Seeking help when needed is a sign of maturity and most teachers admire it.
Step 4. Join the class
Many classes revolve around debates. The lesson takes place in the form of a dialogue between teachers and students. Try to answer the questions the teacher asks. Even if you don't give the correct answer, you will show that you are committed. If you don't participate, they may think you don't listen or that you don't care.
Raise your hand when you have something to say. Don't talk out of the blue! Most teachers get irritated when students respond without being called
Step 5. Be quiet
Do not talk to classmates and do not disturb the class, especially if the teacher is intervening. Repeated disturbance could infuriate it until you are expelled. Respect the teacher. It should be pretty obvious when silence is needed. If you're not sure, keep quiet anyway or wait for someone to speak first to see the reaction.
If the teacher leaves the room, you can exchange a few words. However, you will have to shut up as soon as he returns. Never talk if the teacher leaves during a class test: other students may say this if you disturb or cheat.
Step 6. Work for something new and different
Not all students who read this guide will have a history of good school conduct. If you've misbehaved in the past, start improving your image right away. Apologize to the teachers, students, staff you haven't shown respect to. If you have misbehaved, bring a little thought to the teacher during the holidays. Be more careful when doing your homework. Pay more attention in class. Serve your punishment if you have one, then follow the steps above to keep yourself out of trouble in the future.
Method 2 of 3: Part Two: Behaving Outside the Classroom
Step 1. Don't waste time in the corridors
Between lessons, it is natural to greet the friends you meet. It is perfectly acceptable to those who behave well. But don't get distracted by chatting or hanging around. Keep in mind how much time you have and the space you need to travel to get to class before the next bell rings. Timelines may be tight and teachers hate being late. If you constantly delay, you may be disciplined or held back.
If you have a timer in your mobile, use it. Allocate a certain amount of time, let's say three minutes - in which you can chat with friends. When it expires, grab your stuff and go to class
Step 2. Enter the good graces of the administration
Headmaster, rector and managers: they are not teachers but it does not mean that you should ignore them, just like those of the administration. Anyone who works in the school probably listens to the principal or someone who can discipline you. Respect these people, a good reputation among the members of the administration can be a godsend if you get into serious trouble.
Here is an example: Many schools have a secretary that you will have to go to if you arrive late for any reason. Sometimes, this person is obnoxious or annoying, and because they don't have the power to punish you, you may be tempted to respond in kind. Do not to do it. He probably talks to the principal on a daily basis. Even if she may not go and tell her, it could make your life difficult the next time you show up with her a little too badly written doctor's certificate.
Step 3. Avoid fights
This is hard sometimes, a lot, but it's always very important. Many schools have a zero-tolerance policy of punching and brawling and you may find yourself suspended or expelled. Save your record from this stain. Don't get involved unless absolutely necessary to defend yourself. Even in desperate cases where you "must" fight, you run the risk of getting into big trouble. Teachers and administration don't always know who started it. If it's your word against the bully's, then you will probably both be punished. The best policy is to avoid fighting altogether. Here are some tips:
- Learn to deal with bullies. They are weak and insecure people, who hurt you to feel better about themselves. Try to hinder them without fighting.
- Ignore the attackers. Sometimes, people choose to fight for attention or because they are bored or dissatisfied. Ignore them, so you make them feel like idiots. Headphones are a great help, just turn on the music and that's it.
- Tell teachers and those in charge. If you feel targeted, tell the school staff, especially if you are worried that the bully might start a fight. If it happens, you can say that you have warned in advance of the danger.
- Never instigate a fight. No matter how disrespectful they are, if you throw the first punch you will feel the weight of guilt. If you are really mad at other students, do whatever it takes to let off steam: listen to some relaxing music, eat something or exercise for example.
Step 4. Don't speak ill of anyone
Gossip, especially the "juicy" one, is perfect to be disclosed but you should avoid it. The rumors spread quickly and if someone hears you said something bad behind their back you could ruin your reputation. Of course, this also applies to teachers and school staff. Rumors about staff members can jeopardize their jobs. If you get caught putting them around, the punishment will be severe.
It goes without saying that fueling gossip is "obviously" bad. Before doing so, think about whether or not the words are true. If they are true, think about how this person will feel when they find out
Method 3 of 3: Part Three: The Extra Touch
Step 1. Do extracurricular activities
Your behavior shouldn't necessarily be limited to the classroom - most schools have a choice of after-school activities that you can enroll in. By dedicating yourself, you will have the opportunity to broaden your circle of friends (in terms of students and And faculty members) and build a reputation as a hard worker. Here are some activities that the school offers:
- Sports teams
- Vocal groups
- Music bands
- Comedies or musicals
- Special clubs (debate, cooking, robotics, etc.)
Step 2. Get a "clean" look
It's sad but true: many students and teachers are superficial and judge by look. Self really you want to have a reputation as a nice guy or a little saint, you will need to wear suitable clothes and keep the right look. Avoid ripped jeans, crotch-to-the-knees pants, and baggy sweaters. No face and body piercings. Smile, don't try to look harsh or threatening. These surface changes will make people look at you differently.
- Guys should shave and keep a short, classic cut. Shirts should be clean and buttoned, pants or jeans fit. And no earrings.
- Girls should avoid over-the-top make-up, clothes that show a lot (bare bellies, miniskirts, etc.) and too much jewelry.
Step 3. Reach out to those who aren't popular
A perfect way to gain a saintly reputation is to get off the beaten track and befriend less popular students. Volunteer to show the school to new ones. If you see someone sitting alone at lunch, pull the chair closer. Defend those who are bullied. Above all, be friends with those who are alone. You will absolutely be noticed. And besides, it's a very nice thing to do.
Step 4. Become a leader
By carving out a role as a boss, you will develop the potential to do good (and more people will notice what you do). Take part in school elections, create your own after school club, become captain of the school sports team. Whatever you choose, be the first to lead by example, because a leader who behaves correctly can quickly earn the respect and admiration of students and teachers.
Step 5. Behave well outside of school as well
Small talk travels fast, the things you do outside of the school environment could change the way you are viewed inside as well. Be active in volunteering and charity. Sign up for a community action program. Spend a Saturday building a home for a program like 'Habitat for Humanity'. Become a mentor for at-risk kids. Encourage friends to do the same. Everything will count towards remaining that good, noble person you are also in school.
Step 6. Ignore your detractors
It's pretty much inevitable, some people will be angry with you for trying to do well in school. Ignore any teasing and insulting attempts they may throw at you. By doing so, you will show maturity and demeanor. Instead they will seem immature. Don't get caught up in these people, the outcomes of good behavior aren't worth the instant gratification that comes with an eye for an eye.
Do not put yourself on the level of those who have it with you by yelling at them at your insults. The best revenge is living well, continuing to behave the same way: you will frustrate them endlessly
Advice
- Remember that everyone makes mistakes.
- Asking questions is ok.
- Don't let go of good behavior.
Warnings
- Some teachers may even joke, so if they say something weird make sure they also add, "That's what we're going to talk about today" and not just laugh.
- But if you behave well then you do something serious, people will be disappointed in you, they will think that you are not serious and they will wonder what you really want. Your teacher will probably also advise you to do something else.
- Good conduct obviously involves sticking to it.
