  Case: Bad Language
I have a student who is repeatedly using bad language in class. I have written home notes-no response-taken away points and isolated him from other students. I have tried talking to him privately when this happens, but he continues. How can I handle this problem in my classroom?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
If the student continues to have this behavior, even after you have talked to the students and the parents, you should create a simple behavior plan with the student. For example, you could put him on a point system. If he enjoys playing on the iPad, for example, you could have the iPad as an incentive at the end of the day. For each subject that is completed without the student using bad language, he can earn one point. The student must earn five (the amount of points can be adjusted) points in order to earn the iPad for the last five/ten minutes of class. This would provide the student with something to work towards while also helping to control his behavior. I hope it works!

Comments: I have found that point systems do not always work and that the student does not really care if they are losing points bu they may need more severe consequences than that to be an effective solution.
