She has also taken pens and pads of paper from my desk. When the issues first began, she did not own up to her actions, however now she will say she did it. There does not seem to be any remorse and I have to ask her to apologize to others. What can I do to teach her that stealing is wrong and to prevent it from happening again? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) If another student is willing, I would have one of the students that she stole something from tell her why it upset them. Maybe if she is able to see how it really effects the other students she'll be more willing to stop.                 Rating 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 Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: I do like this idea, may be a little sketchy not sure if the administrators would approve, giving her a taste of her own medicine may work.

She will not care, or probably even listen to what the other student has to say.

She seems like she does not care and viewing another students feelings probably will not change her actions.

This can cause bigger issues such as bullying.

The student likely needs more supports to address their misbehavior. Rated On: October 13, 2019 2:27 am Rated By: yZedem
