  Case: Disrespectful Student
I have a Kindergarten student who is extremely disrespectful and rude. He talks back to teachers, makes snide remarks to other students such as "Duh, I already knew that", he tells me "I don't want to do this", he told the parapro after having to move his clip to red (loss of recess) "That's why I don't like you". He smacks his lips when having to move his clip because of misbehavior. He slams his clip on the behavior chart when he does move it. I have tried consequences such as loss of recess, silent lunch, and timeout another teacher's classroom. His desk is in the far back corner of the classroom as well. I have been in contact with his mother almost on a daily basis about his behavior. I have also had the principal have a chat with him. Nothing seems to be working. What else can I do?!?!?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I had a student in 2nd grade last year just like that. Nothing mattered to him. It was so frustrating. I brought him up in RTI and we decided to do a behavior sheet. He had 3 areas, follows directions, respects authority, respects peers. The day was broken into 10 time segments. Each segment and each area could be worth 2 points. If they do the specific behavior for the whole time, they earn 2 points. Part of the time, 1 point. Not at all, 0 points. At the end of the day, if they have met their "goal" points, they earn a treat. The trouble I had was when it was time to start taking away the treats his behaviors returned.

Comments: I have thought about bringing him up in our RTI meetings specifically for behavior. I could try something like the point system you mentioned. Thanks for the solution!

Comments: Doing things like this will likely make the student misbehave in the long run. Like if you train a dog to only sit for a treat, they will expect a treat whenever they sit. If you don't give them the treat, they won't sit.

Comments: I like this idea because it breaks down the specific problems throughout the day and makes the goal a little bit easier to tackle because they are based on chunked themes. It is rewarding the student for having a good day and hopefully making a new good habit for that student.
