  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!)
I agree with the first two solutions. I think addressing why this student finds the need to 'get everyone's attention' and then work through this attention seeking behavior with the student seems to work. Maybe the student just wants someone to laugh at him and find him funny, maybe the student isn't getting enough attention at home. You can maybe set up a contract with the student like for however long the student does not get up and disrupt the class you will verbally praise that student aloud or something.
