When the kids fight, they go home and tell the parents. The parents will then call up and complain to the principal abt the teacher not stopping the fight. They would even call the teacher up or turn up at the teachers' office and yell at the teacher. I'd seen that so many times when I was in the office preparing for the next lesson. 
What I did was, I just sent the kids to the vice principal or the principal. I saved my voice and breath. I remember the first day of class, I had to talk so loudly so that those noisy kids could hear me. I lost my voice for the next 3 days. Hehehhehe :p After that, what da hell...I just sent the troublemakers to the principal's office. I didn't bother if they couldn't keep up with the rest of the class or missed the lesson.
When the parents or the kids complained, I just told them, "If you guys want to learn more or keep up with the syllabus, stop creating troubles!"
I seriously did not have that much time to give them remedial lessons. I taught at 8am and did not return home till 4pm almost everyday. Then had to grade their assignments (MAN! The school designated so much homework for each subjects, and I was teaching 6 subjects), a lot of times I had to grade till 2am in the morning so that I could return them the next day. DANG! No OT pay! :eek: I saw a lot of teachers just assigning the designated homework and never marking them/returning them to the students. I sure wasn't going to do that.
Well, those kids just thought that it was so easy to grade all their "BAD" work. They hounded me practically everyday to returned their homework when I was only a day late. Some parents actually called me up to ask me to return them within a day. Dohz....the kids only had to do 1 piece of work for each subjects and I had to mark 40 pieces of work for each subject. *TIRED*
One funny note about the parents is that they blame it on the teachers when their kids are being rude to them. They actually told the teachers that they should be the one teaching their kids to be well-mannered and be respectful to the elders.
I'm really glad that I stop teaching and went back to school for my 2nd degree. I seriously doubt that I would ever want to go into teaching again. Too much stress, too little pay!
