  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 have seen two possible solutions to disrespectful students work on numerous occasions. The first solution is to find out what the student is interested in and make connections to that topic. Sometimes it is a particular sports team or a type of music. Asking the student specific questions about their interests can build trust and relationship. The second solution to a disrespectful learner is to "kill them with kindness". Never let the student know that they are getting under your skin, but respond with "I am sorry you feel that way". Avoid sarcasm in your positive response because the goal is for the disrespectful student to realize that you are on their side and will not be deterred by a bad attitude.

Comments: If I was in this situation I would use this solution. I would use this solution because it address the behavioral situation without really addressing it at all. The teacher gives little acknowledgement to negative response from student, there for addressing the problem by noting giving the student attnetion.
