accidentally slammed a student's book on the desk
Hello. I would like to ask for some advice.
Today, my class became very noisy and the students were not listening even to the JTE. Out of frustration, I ended up slamming a student’s book on the desk to get their attention.
I realized afterward that what I did was wrong. The JTE corrected me immediately in front of the class, and I also apologized to the student afterward.
Now, the JTE wants to inform my dispatch company about what happened so they can give me better teaching advice. I told her that I would be the one to tell the company because honestly, I’m worried about getting into trouble.
My dilemma is whether I should inform my dispatch company myself or just leave the situation as it is. I would also appreciate advice on how to handle very noisy classes as an ALT without becoming frustrated.
