Case: Unbearable Behavior
I have been having a difficult time with one of my students. He is the child of a migrant family. Before my classroom, he attended two other schools this year. Although his grades are pretty decent, his behavior has been unbearable. He is disruptive, he bullies other children, he hurts others on the playground, and he uses profanity. I tried many different strategies with him including rewards for good behavior, creating behavior contracts, time outs, and talking, I have not been successful. A few times I tried to call his parents to have him talk to the parents about his behavior, I could not reach them. This week I sent two notes to his parents asking them to meet with me to discuss his behavior; they refused to meet with me. They told their son to tell me that they have to work during day time and they had no time to meet. I understand that they are hard working people but shouldn't they make an effort help me with their child's education? Do they not care? What should I do?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Sometimes it is not that a parent does not care. Often times the parents are so caught up in making sure that there is a house with a roof, food to eat and hot water in the shower that parent teacher conferences seem like an obligatory waste of time. I would think that the parents of this child have tried to handle his behavior problems on some level. But it is also apparent that his behavior is not isolated to school alone. He probably acts out and misbehaves in the same manner at home. Keeping an open dialogue with him and trying different ways to break this cycle is more beneficial than coddling him or just simply giving up. I would think that his behavioral problems have deep roots and it would likely be a more fast acting idea to have him see the counselor. He or she can be intellectual in breaking through to him and getting him to settle down in class. |
