  Case: Disruptive Student
I have a student that is disruptive in all classes. He wants to gain his peers attention at all times, and he wants them to laugh. He randomly walks around the room, keeps talking, and making jokes. He has done it so much the students are starting to notice how annoying it is. What should I do about this student?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Since it seems that this student is desperate for attention, maybe you could give him classroom 'jobs.' He could help you pass out papers or be in charge of certain classroom duties. I have had students like this and before I contact home, I give them various classroom responsibilities to see if keeping them super busy will decrease the disruptions.

Comments: Assigning classroom jobs to the disruptive student is a good idea. It focuses on positive contributions to the classroom and shifts the focus of his behavior to something positive and worthwhile.
