  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!)
Mrs. Smith should instill a positive behavior system for when the student does raise his hand. It may be hard for the student to control impulsive behaviors. Using positive reinforcement may motivate the student to practice self control.

Comments: I agree, it feels like an impulse control issue. I hate punishing students for things beyond their control, so this idea of positive reinforcement for good behavior sounds much better. It may take time, but all kids need to be noticed for doing well, and I think the student would make a conscious effort to try. Fear of punishment (especially for something so difficult to control) can cause undue anxiety and stress.
