  Case: Parents Have Tried Everything
There is a student who entered my school as a fourth grader this year. After a week of school, the teacher contacted the parents about the student's misbehavior. The parent notified the teacher that the student has a problem with authority. She stated that the student has always been this way and that nothing worked. His previous school tried everything, including suspension, and she cannot find a solution to help this student at home. The student is being monitored for Tier 2- behavior, but there is not enough data to move him to tier 3. Although the student is capable of producing quality work, the student's behavior has a negative effect on his grades. What can be done?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Try to build a good relationship with the student so the student doesn't want to let you down. You could also try to see what the student is attempting to gain from misbehaving (probably attention) and try to provide the attention in other ways (have the student read aloud, for example).
