If she does not get her way in the classroom, then she will walk out of class. She does not complete any of her work and puts her head down in class. She has skipped my class numerous of times and I have contacted the parent. She gets suspended very frequently, but has to come back to school early, due to the lights or power being out. She comes back to school and acts the same exact way. We are starting an SST process on her now, but in the time being what are some strategies I could implement with this student? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Students with the least often need the most love, support and understanding. Unfortunately, this need usually manifests itself in the most inappropriate ways. I would try to keep in mind what the child may be dealing with at home and seek the help of school counselors to help provide the social services for the family that may help alleviate the behavior problems. I would also try to get the student to understand that leaving class and messing up in school will only lead to more poverty, and only by doing well in school can she even begin to create a better life for herself.
