how to handle common classroom problems?

most of the teacher try to start their classes doing a plan with some classroom rules, I think that discipline is one of the most common problem in the classroom. Sometimes students forget the rules and they break them, I know that keep a good discipline is something hard and it is more when the group is large; as a teacher we have to be careful when we are trying to keep the order in our classroom. Another problem is when students are distracted for someone or something else that it is disturbing our class, the teacher have to movve the student's sear away from distracting things or classmates, maybe collect distracting objects, it is a good way to mantain our student´s attention. another way to decrease the problems in the classroom is the uses of warnigs, tell the students that if they continue with their missbehaviour they will loose the oportunity to be on break or we will call their parents to talk about their bad disciplines. teachers have the responsability to do our best in the classroom , for that reason we have to avoid problems with our students.
I remember that I had to face a problem when I was teaching in a public school, one boy was facing bullying from two of his classmates, the violence and the intimidation that this boy faced was really bad, this boy became to missbehave in the classroom and he always try to be hide from their classmates, I noticed the problem and I decided to talked with their parents and with the principal of the school a good solution is that children have to be informed about what to do in this cases.
