  Case: How do I control a smart kid who bothers others without de-motivating him?
One of my students is quite intelligent. He will answer whatever question I ask without considering other kids who may have the answer, is hyperactive and won't listen. The other children are disturbed by him. But in exams he does well.How do I take control of him and at the same time not impact his motivation level?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Put him in a leadership position. Explain to him that to be a leader he cannot call out and he needs to allow other students to answer. Also explain to him that when he answers every time it makes others feel bad. So tell him to take turns with the other students and allow him to use his hyperactivity and intelligence to help others.

Comments: I don't think putting him in leadership positions because he's intelligent and hyperactive is fair. I would use higher level worksheets or test him for gifted.

Comments: I think this would make the student more arrogant and feel like he is better then everyone else.
