Destructive Student
I have a student who is constantly endangering themself and the class. They will climb on top of desks and walk all over them, will chase kids with any sharp object they find, always throwing things, walking out of class, and always argues with the teacher and other staff members. Is there a way to handle this situation where the student is not constantly getting pulled out of class for their behavior?

I would focus on asking them self-reflection types of questions when they are not in the middle of acting out in poor behavior. For instance, pull them aside during lunch for a day and sit and eat with them. Get to know the student, and let them know you care about them, and that you care about why they are acting out in destructive behavior. Sometimes students act out in this manner for the sake of attention, or sadly, it could even be modeled behavior they see at home. Therefore, it is important to get to know students personally, and try to find the root of their behaviors. Once some causes are found, ask self-reflection-oriented questions such as, "How would you feel if Ben came up to you and was chasing you with something that could hurt you?". Asking questions that make students "wear the shoes of someone else" helps them to be more selfless and aware of others' emotions.

In this situation, I feel as if there could be multiple different ways to solve this behavior problem with the student. Make sure that sharp objects that you may have in the classroom are far up and hidden to where the child can not reach or find. Have a sit down conference with the student and the students parents and see if their behavior only happens in the classroom or at home as well. Figuring out ways on how the parents deal with it at home. Finding those ways that the student behaves at home will be the key, how to interact with them. Having a behavior marker in the classroom, so that whenever the student misbehaves, you move the marker down and when it gets to the last point, call home to the parents and let them handle it the way they want to handle the situation.

Hi There!

In this scenario I would make sure to stay consistent and firm with how you disciple the student. I would implement a behavior chart and show the student the consequences of not behaving. Ask the student to stay in for recess if that is an option and schedule a parent conference with the child present.
