When we walk in line through the halls, he stretches arms and legs outside the bounds of the line and has bumped other students before. He likes basketball and his movements mimic fake outs and dribbling. So far I have only acknowledged his actions through oral reprimands. But the behavior continues, what are recommended next steps. Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I make my students who refuse to fall in line walk on the opposite side of the hall. Usually the negative peer pressure makes them stop. Also- I have found that letting students complete reading or assignment while sitting on the floor minimizes (surprisingly) the need for such students to be so disruptive.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) No The suggested solution is relevant to the case No The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement No The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue No The suggested solution is original No Comments: Using negative peer pressure is not a good idea.
