  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!)
Social stories are useful in this situation to show him how his remarks come across and hurt others and then practice how to talk respectfully with others. Ignore the negative remarks, don't even acknowledge that he's said them, and praise the positive comments. Maybe you can set up a positive reinforcement plan to decrease negative comments and increase respectful ones. In an extreme case, repeating what the child does/says may be needed for the child to truly see how they behave and how it comes across to others. Sometimes they are unaware of how they behave and seeing it from others helps, but only in extreme cases.

Comments: Although I agree with positive reinforcement, I disagree with ignoring the bad behavior. I think may cause the student to think he could get away with it and may backfire by causing him to mishave even more.
