  Case: Repeated Infractions with Little Consequences
A high school student has been sent to the office and in-school detention (ISD) multiple times for making sexual noises, hand-gestures, and comments during class. This has been addressed with the student's mother, administrators, the counselor, and the school social worker. The other day, this same student was caught exposing the complete right side of his rear-end to two female students at the beginning of class as everyone was filing in. He had his pants and underwear pulled down completely on the right side. The teacher immediately sent the student to the office for indecent exposure, and the student walked away with only 2 days of in-school suspension. The teacher does not feel that the infractions are receiving the appropriate consequences, and the student's behavior continues to worsen. What should the teacher do?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
That is awful. It sounds like this student needs to go before a tribunal and get a punishment. That is sexual harassment, and the school could get into a lot of trouble if they allow this behavior to continue. I wonder if your superintendent knows this type of behavior is going on at the high school. I do know think they would think this was acceptable. I am sure the parents of the other students do not as well. I know this is not the best thing to do, but maybe you should tell some of the students to complain about this student. The more complains, maybe your administration would be forced to take this situation seriously.

The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) No
The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes
The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes
The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue No
The suggested solution is original Yes
Comments: I agree with most of this but, involving students in another students behavior problems is not okay. Talk to administration and share your concerns about possible repercussion to the whole school if parents were aware of what the their children were being exposed to.
