Case: Manipulative Student
I have a student who went through some trouble at home in the past. He is very manipulative and deceitful when it comes to behavior. He will say vulgar things all the time, steal, bring weapons to school, and hurt other students. Whenever he is confronted about it, he begins crying and saying it is because of family problems. He claims other students are making fun of him and bullying him because of these issues, but I know for a fact that the students he is targeting have no idea of his past home situation. I have referred him to the counselor and administration, but they all come back and say he is just very upset about his home life. I will sit in on these meetings, however, and when the principal or counselor looks away, he will stop crying and smile and wink at me. When they turn back around, he begins crying again. He is to the point now where he is found torturing small animals and insects at recess. Everyone above me attributes it to his emotional problems. What can I do to solve this before someone is really endangered?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
You are in a tough spot as a teacher with this situation. It is good that administration is on board but the manipulation of the student is not helping the situation because the student is fooling administration. At this point I would document all issues that arise and begin to seriously think about calling protective services. They may already be involved but it would be in the child's best interest to have counseling outside the school and someone checking in on him at home. |

Comments: This solution is most helpful. Documentation is key for a situation like this. Proper documentation will allow you to present instances that will help aligned the student with the proper services that he needs. It is also good for remembering everything.
Protective services is a great intervention method considering the student is beginning to harm animals. This is a sign of very serious internal issues that the student is having. |

Comments: If I were in this situation, I would do this because the student could have issues at home. It would be of the students best interest to address the students issues for outside of school as well. |
