Mine are great... except for just one girl. She brought down my "very well behaved" to just a "they behave themselves ok" because she's nuts. Other than her though, my girls are little angels. |

They are most of the time...but most are about 6 years old so they have their days when they'll just sit down and cry |

I guess for me it all depends on who your talking about, I've got some really well behaved kids, and also some really spoiled, hard to handle ones. |

I don't pick anyone to assist who is not going to have excellent behavior. They have to earn the right. |

I AM an assistant (Well, I'm technically a JR teacher this year, Yay for me!) And when I first came in (I teach 3, 4, 5, and 6 year olds) They were all over me!! My teacher sent a bunch into the 'Naughty Corner' for jumping on me. But now they're fairly well behaved. |

 They're all about 8, or super cute toddlers in the youngest group (3-4 rec) the little girls are just so excited to be dancing and sometimes very hyper, but since I'm someone they look up to it's pretty easy to get them to calm down- for a few minutes. The 8 year olds are starting to be serious about their dance and are always great fun but a little stuck up and annoying sometimes. There are of course some troublesome kids, but they're not in 3-4 rec this coming year haha! |

i am a volunteer assistant teacher for 2 ballet(more jazzy with ballet mixed in)/tap combo classes.
the 5-6 year olds i assist with are absolute angel children.they are perfectly well behaved and they are pretty good for their age. there are 2 that are a little unattentive and distracted and we'll have the occasional "im tired i dont feel good i don't wanna dance" thing, but they are overall amazing and i love them!
the 3-4 yr olds are a different story, however. some of them are also angelic, but that is less than half of the class of 10ish dancers. we have the very very occasional good day but most times there is at least one who gets on our nerves. there arent that many of them and they are still kind of hard to keep under control with less than 1 teacher and 2 student assistants. its not a very strict class and the teacher is just kind of a 'dance should be fun not work or torture' kind of person so the class is pretty easy going and they might feel that they can push their boundaries a little too much. they also all follow each other. if one isnt listening, they all dont listen. if one goes to the bathroom, they ALL want to go to the bathroom (this we just give in to because we cant tell if they have to go or not and we dont want pee on the floor). they also are constantly running into the dressing room or up and down the stairs that lead into the studio. we even have one that fake-cries when she doesnt get her way. some of them just come to class and dont want to dance!! well at least not with the group. they sometimes dont follow what i, the other assistant, or the teacher is doing and just walk around doing whatever. or they say i dont want to dance today and the teacher will say then you can sit on the stairs until mommy comes but they just walk around! and if the real teacher isnt there and its a sub...you dont want to be there.
since its in-between, i voted OK. one class i would vote very well behaved and the other i would vote sometimes. |

The majority of my students are well behaved. However, I have a 3 year old who is a holy terror. She growls at me when she doesn't get her way, she tells her mom to "sit down and shut up!"; and screams when she doesn't get her way. I sent her home early last night because she was kicking the other children. Her Aunt brought her, so I'm going to call her mom on Monday and schedule a conference. |

The 3-4 year olds on thursday that i teac are so bad. They run around and have this thing where they always like to fall down CONSTANTLY!!!! They are also using teddy bears for their dance and then like to throw them all the time.
The 5-8 year olds just like to talk and not listen. Some of them zone out and dont pay attention.
Other than that they are the sweetest girls ever!=) |

They are pretty good.
They are all chatty with eachother now that they are more comfortable.
They like to over exagerate that there tap shoes are too slippery. Like, purposely falling to get attention. Kinda cute but then kinda annoying.
Last night we were holding eachothers hands so they wouldnt "fall" anymore. Seemed to have worked.  |

Most of my classes are good, but one of them (and I have them for both ballet and jazz) is horrible. They make me want to tear my hair out! |

There was one little girl who was so quiet and sweet last year, and now this year she's a downright little b*tch. (Yes, I know horrible to refer to children that way... but you would too if you had her!)
Worst attitude, pushing major buttons... and the worst part is, her mother sits there and watches... AND DOESN'T SAY ANYTHING! |

The class I assisted with this past year consisted of nine 3 and four year old girls. They were pretty good. But we did have two girls wet themselves and another actually poop her pants (lucky for the teacher and I it was just before the class ended so the mom was there to take care of it) Also with girls that age they tend to be followers. So if one of them starts crying, so do the other eight... |
