  Case: Parents are worried about incentives not behaviors
Ms. Jones has a student in her kindergarten grade class that repeatedly hits other students, does not follow directions until they have been given multiple times, and is consistently yells out during whole group instruction. The student has been given a "special seat" during instruction, has been used as a classroom helper, and been given a behavior chart to track progress. There is a field trip coming up in Ms. Jones class, and she feels this student has not earned the right to go based on her behavior in the classroom. Ms. Jones decides to talk to the parents of this student about her behavior and possible chance of missing the class field trip. Ms. Jones lets them know of the violent acts, lack of respect toward teachers, and conversations with other parents that have complained about the actions of their student. The parents response to Ms. Jones is the following: "I am worried that she will feel bad. She is just a little girl and will miss out on having fun with her friends."

How does Ms.Jones react to the parents of her troubled student?
Should the student be allowed to go on the field trip?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I think that the child should be allowed to go on a field trip, but with stipulations. One, the parent should be required to chaperon the field trip with the student in question. I have required parents of difficult children to attend the field trip if they really want their child to go. If the parent is unable to attend, it is up to them to find a replacement chaperon for their child. The parents need to be aware that a field trip is a privileged and not a right.

Comments: I agree having someone chaperone the child in question can be useful. Additionally, having someone there the student knows can deter him from bothering the other students.

Comments: If a child repeatedly hits other kids and doesn't listen regardless of the consequences, she or he should not be allowed to go on the field trips. Field trips are a privilege and the student needs to understand they have to behave a certain way to earn those privileges.

Comments: I think it is a great idea to make the parents have to chaperone or to make them find someone that would be able to report the bad behavior to them after the field trip, but I also think there should be more limitations put on the student than just a parent chaperone.
