I renewed with chilgok because I knew they would revert back and I had spent the time to invest in getting to know them on a personal level and the quirks of certain individual students

sometimes a good kid can be having a bad day so dont come down too hard unless its consistent
some kids go thru phases, devil one term then angel or vice versa
let them work out their phases thru adolescence
remind them how good they were last term or that they are a strong student
threaten to tell their other family members (sometimes parents run local stores)

i was a very bad kid at that stage, always answering back and in trouble but i grew out of it
students have the potential to do better later in life so not to apply too much pressure if they have the potential as i did. try to reason with them and explain

do not just be the tough enforcer, show them you can have fun and be on their sides
laugh together sometimes at their pranks but show them you are still in control and demand respect

use a relaxed friendly approach. empathize with when you were a student, they are going thru phases thru life and will outgrow them. dont know what other problems they have with life and family.
try to take language courses as well for role reversal and keeping things fresh. allows you to see things from the students perspective and get other teaching ideas. also you can be a role model when they say it is too difficult that i am a living example that i can learn your language so u can learn my language.
