The problematic children were given the most attention. They were reprimanded and reminded to pay attention often while the students who participated and behaved well received little if any attention. The teacher focused on reprimanding the poorly behaved students rather than praising the well behaved students. All of the children did not participate equally. The poorly behaved students participated often, but usually in a negative way. They did not take the activities seriously and made a joke of the activity to show off to the class. The well behaved students participated less than the poorly behaved students but took the activities seriously. The well behaved students seemed to be intimidated by the poorly students. The teacher did not call upon certain ethnic groups more than others but students of minority ethnic groups more than others but students of minority ethnic and racial groups seemed to behave more appropriately than white the white students. These children participated more and were called on more because they behaved better, not because of their back round. There was no difference between the treatment of students based on their gender, ethnicity, or race. The teacher treated the students based on their behavior and participation. The white students seemed to behave worse than the other students and were given negative attention and reprimands while the other students were called on and participated more but were given little praise.
