  Case: Upsetting Classmates
I have a student that is a behavior problem. I am working with him, his parents, and administration to keep him on track. However, he has recently taken up taking other students things, touching their bookbags/books, and sometimes even flicking them on the ear. I have tried to stop this behavior with school wide discipline procedures, but it is not working. I have recently had a parent request that their student be removed from my class because of the other student. She made it clear to my administration that it wasn't because of me, but that the other student disrupts her student's learning. I am sad about the student being moved, I really enjoy him. How can I stop the disruptive student from bothering my other students?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Having the parent sit in the classroom is a good thing. However, from experience, the student will not behave in the way they usually do. Maybe you should get it approved to have a camera placed in your class for a day. Don't tell the students about it, and just see what happens. This way the parents and administration can see what is truly happening.

Comments: Having proof of the students behavior, and having the administration look at the camera showing this student is out of control, maybe they will be able to put him in the appropriate classroom. Great solution!

Comments: I was thinking the same thing as I read the first solution. I like the idea of using a camera as long as it is approved beforehand.

Comments: I have heard that you can no longer video tape a person's child without their consent. This goes against that. Some parents may get angry if they found out that their child has been video taped.

Comments: It is an interesting idea to record everything for proof, but it will likely not be in the budget of the school and some parents may not approve of their child being filmed.
