  Case: Blurting Out
The year has gotten off to a great start except for one thing. In one of my classes, I have a student who seems too eager to please, and blurts out answers to questions whenever I try to have a teacher-led discussion. What should I do?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would try to give that student incentives. For example, if they do not blurt out answers the whole class period, they ear a point. Or, if they raise their hand to earn a point. Then after a while, if they earn so many points then they can trade those points in and get a reward for it. I have been using this in my high school classes and they love it...
