He disrupts other students and steals food. I have written notes in his planner and I have had discussions with his family about his disruptions. How do I proceed?                 Submit a Possible Solution Please read response(s) below (if any) before posting your solution.                 Solution 1 Posted October 10, 2016 1:23 pm uBuDap Reps: 201 The class I am involved in utilizes "lonely lunch" when the students are unable to behave appropriate with their peers. It is important for the student to understand this behavior is not tolerated, and you could even pull this student away from the other students as it occurs to get your point across. The fact that is seems he has had no definitive consequences when this behavior occurs is only reinforcing it.

We have silent lunch and it seems to work well. If I were in this situation this is what I would do.   Posted on: October 12, 2016 1:12 pm Jenna Herberson Reps: 200 That seems like a good idea.   Posted on: March 6, 2017 9:27 pm yLeQud Reps: 101 i agree with separating the student from their peers if necessary.   Posted on: October 14, 2017 10:49 pm rybuZy Reps: 200 Silent lunch probably would be the best option in this case.   Posted on: October 16, 2017 2:22 am Add a Comment                 Solution 2 Posted October 17, 2016 1:23 am Sieara Voegtle Reps: 202 I would contact administration and try doing a lunch detention. The student needs to be made aware that there are consequences for his actions during the lunch period.

Attention? Hunger? Bored? First I would take a few mins and go into the lunch room and observe. Once determined the why, then you can proceed Hunger, ask for to have snacks Attention, pair him up with a friend or have him sit alone Bored, give him a task, such as : Wiping tables, extra reading book..

I would sit down and talk to him first then maybe have a conference with his parents.

This will either keep him from disrupting or it will cause him to want to behave in order to be with his friends.

If this is not possible, discuss having him sit by himself at the end of the table but still with his class. Other wise, he can have lunch in detention or take away his recess. You could also have him write an essay or what is appropriate behavior in the lunch room and how he will make better choices.

It is embarrassing for the student and hopefully it helps to correct the issue.

You should always let students know that this is not acceptable. If he continues to do this he may need to have an assigned seat in the lunch room.

From reading your case, it doesn't seem like he has been truly reprimanded at all. Another thing to think about is why is he stealing other people's food? Does he not get enough food at home? Is he eating breakfast? Or is he simply acting out to be a bully? These are all important questions to get to the bottom of why he is acting out.

All students should know what behavior is expected and what will happen if these rules are not followed.

Why does he need to steal others people food? If there is no problem with him needing food, I would discuss with him that other students equally need their own food. Taking things from other people without permission is never okay. After checking in with the students, parents, or maybe a social worker if you think that is needed. If he continues, with no "Real" reason, I would punish him during lunch period by sitting separately, away from his class. He needs to learn boundaries and how to keep his hands to his own plate.

She does not mess around with behavior like this so she gives them lunch detention, makes sure they are last, and she even picks out the lunch for them and normally is not the best lunch choice you can get. When she does this, we normally do not see that student mess around any more and they are well behaved. I know this sounds extreme, but it works and they respect you more after.
