  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!)
This behavior is not unacceptable and will escalate if ignored. The teacher needs to supervise this student at all times and document all inappropriate behavior. Although it has been addressed by the administrator, parent and counselor-it needs to be addressed again. This is not normal behavior and he may be experiencing something in the home that is triggering the behavior. Speak to the administrator and counselor privately and express your concerns. His behavior is affecting other students and cannot be ignored.
