  Case: Hyperactive and Social Student
John is a student in a fourth grade classroom who just can't seem to pay attention in class for long spans of time. You know that from observing him work he is a bright student but he is always trying to circumvent having to do classwork by socializing or vying for your attention. What are some ways that you could help him to focus more in a positive way?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would think about talking to the parents and counsler about testing John for ADD. I would also have the class be engaged a little more. Seating John in the front of the classroom where you can give him more non verbal cues to help him pay attention could also help.
