What's Your Classroom Management Reflex?

When a class doesn't go the way you planned, where do you go first?

Every teacher has a first instinct. Some of us go to the student, some of us go to the other adults, and some of us go to the system. None of them is wrong, and all of them are needed. Knowing your own first instinct tells you what you reach for under pressure, and what you tend to skip.

Answer based on what you'd actually do, not what sounds best. Haven't taught yet? Answer as the coach, camp counselor, tutor, or babysitter you've been.
