Classroom management. Any recipe ? How to handle apathy and discipline problems?

Dear people thank you for all your kind answers and suggestions!
I
see the post has dissapeared from the board and as I went to work
earlier today I couldn �t again follow and answer to you all!
Maybe there are people interested in reading and /or commenting on this, giving you experience, ideas etc..
People have said really valuable things which might be interesting and helpful to other teachers so here it is.

I
�ll send you a PM Ivona your suggestions are great. I really feel
identified with what Serene mentions, other teachers seem to threaten
students so they behave �correclty for a while. � And this kind of
strategy or whatever is called, it �s very difficult for me, It �s not
in my nature to have a really frigthening personality, or character...
And I felt terrible when I was told by one of the �assistant � who is
at school, (supposedly helping teachers with problematic students and
situations--- Not too sure if you have these people in your schools.
).. Well, she told me that some students do not do anything in class,
because I am too good!!! In the sense that I apparently don �t threaten
them enough, shout at them enough, put bad grades and send them with
the headmistress. It �s a horrible situation, considering state schools
do not have a good system that really supports the teacher. Besides,
there aren�t clear and serious methods to deal with students who can
�t behave at school and do not want to do anything.
Samantha.

I taught grade 8 French today. They stood on the desk, then jumped off. Classroom management is very difficult. �

Dear Samantha, last year I had lot of problems with one of my class; I gave them bad marks but the families didn �t care about and the headmaster was too good with them... All the year was a challenge, I was only supported by some of my colleagues but it wasn �t enough. This year I have the chance to teach them again but I prefer to have other children hoping that only few of them are bad students.
