behavior in class

In an ESL classroom, would it be appropriate to let more behavior problems go? I know you must first determine whether the problem is because they are uncomfortable or don't understand or if they are just trying to get attention but after you decide what would you do? Ignore it or punish either way?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I would not let the behavior go. I have 4 behavior problems in my 2nd grade ESL class and I've sent them several times to the principal and call the parents regularly. If you let it go and ignore the behavior, they will run all over the classroom. Take control! It's my 3rd year teaching and I'm wondering if this gets any easier?! I'm hopeful that consistency will pay off.

When it comes to attitude problem, take appropriate actions. I am sure your school have class room rules students should observe. Discipline is important in learning.
