  Case: Whiny Student, parents blame teacher
I teach first grade and have a student who whines and pouts about everything. It can be because he is not the line leader (each student has an assigned weekly jobs) to having to complete an writing assignment. He is a young student and is the youngest of the class. I follow our school behavior plan and he is on RTI 3 for academics. I talk to the parents because his grades are below average and I am concerned about academics. I have included in the my discussions that behavior is an issue. The parents simply state that "he is just trying to play you" or "you are not strict enough". I follow the rules and classroom procedures. What should I do? I believe behavior is a key issue related to his academics
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Maybe the student could help you assign the weekly jobs? That would be a job in itself and it would give the student an opportunity for attention from you, he would be involved in the class even though he may not have a specific job for that day. Even just allowing him to write the helpers on the board for the day would be enough. That could be his special daily job. (Would help with handwriting, spelling too!)
