  Case: Stealing Student
I have a student in my classroom who has begun stealing things out of other student's desks. 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!)
Talking to the student to understand what is causing this misbehavior may help. Showing that we care about the student and what is happening in their life may be enough to help the problem. Having a conference with the parents could help. Also maybe mentioning this to a counselor.

Comments: I agree with you. I definitely think that it would be a good idea to discuss her stealing with her parents. They may be able to shed some light on what could be causing her to steal.

Comments: making their parents aware would be great because then they can keep an eye out for this behavior at home.
