  Case: redirection, redirection, redirection
Mrs. Smith has a student in her class who is consistently interrupting her during instruction. This student has been redirected several times for interrupting and not raising his hand. Being that this is not a "behavior" problem, the teacher continues to redirect. However, when does the teacher draw the line and assign a consequence? Mrs. Smith feels that the student should be accustomed to classroom procedures by this point in the school year and that failing to comply with the teacher's expectations should not be tolerated. What should Mrs. Smith do?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I have found that this is a constant problem within some classroom. At the beginning of the school year I would have handed out a code of conduct for the classroom that Intel's all the rules the consequences. I would go over it with the class have them sign and have them take it home to have their parents sign it. This way not only helps the student understand the consequences of their actions and parents will know what to expect when they are contacted by the teacher. This helped our classroom deal with this type of problem.

Comments: Involving the parents early on is a good idea. The teacher should include classroom rules and a list of consequences for the parents to sign as well.

Comments: This is a good solution because it allows the student to see what they agreed to do when they signed the contract. It also eliminates them from being able to say that they did not know that something was a rule.

Comments: I don't think Codes of Conduct actually work until college in my experience. If a child is going to act out, they're going to do it whether there's a code of conduct or not. Usually the students already know their behavior is not okay.
