  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!)
Since it doesn't seem like this student is trying purposefully to interrupt and cause problems, a real "punishment" does not seem to be in order. What I would suggest is to give the student an official notepad/ sticky notes/ paper etc. Tell the student to write down everything they would normally say in class, unless it is an answer or if the instructor calls on them. Then, at the end of the day, the instructor and the student can go over everything the student wrote down, from thoughts to questions and everything in between. This prevents the student from interrupting the class, but makes them feel heard.

Comments: I disagree with this solution and i do not think it is effective. The student is calling out and disrupting the learning of the other children a consequence should definitely be handed out because it is inappropriate for the student to think that they can call out at anytime regardless. I do thin that the student should have a way to express himself at some points during the day.
