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!) The student can go on the field trip but the punishment is that she has to be with the teacher the whole time. I am sure Ms. Jones understands what the parents have to say, but it is really hard to condone bad behavior.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: I agree, condoning bad behavior just creates a cycle of bad behavior.
