  Case: Repeated Infractions with Little Consequences
A high school student has been sent to the office and in-school detention (ISD) multiple times for making sexual noises, hand-gestures, and comments during class. This has been addressed with the student's mother, administrators, the counselor, and the school social worker. The other day, this same student was caught exposing the complete right side of his rear-end to two female students at the beginning of class as everyone was filing in. He had his pants and underwear pulled down completely on the right side. The teacher immediately sent the student to the office for indecent exposure, and the student walked away with only 2 days of in-school suspension. The teacher does not feel that the infractions are receiving the appropriate consequences, and the student's behavior continues to worsen. What should the teacher do?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
The student should face very serious consequences for this, possibly even legal ramifications from the juvenile justice system. I would explain to the administration that getting off easy may lead the student to even more inappropriate behavior. The teacher can also anonymously call the Central Abuse Hotline because this type of behavior can be reported there on behalf of the 2 girls he exposed themselves to.
