  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!)
I would document each incident and try to uncover the reason for her actions. I would also hold her accountable and give her consequenses for actions so hat she knows this is not ok. For each occurance a more severe consequence. Maybe everytime she steals something she loses something of value to her.
