  Case: Student cannot and will not keep hands to himself
I am facing a situation where there is a 9 year old boy who can't keep his hands to himself. I have constantly seen him doing things like walking up behind kids and taking a wisp of hair and yanking it... flicking/kicking them from behind... coming up from behind and smacking them on one shoulder and then quickly shifting over far to the other side (you know, the old 'who's there' stunt) etc.... etc.... etc.... You never see him without his hands on somebody. Any ideas?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
If the class and I were walking somewhere, I would have this student walk by himself with me or at the front of the line. This would eliminate the problem of having him put his hands on another student because he must either stay with me or look at the front of the line where there is no other students. If this did not work, I would send the parents and email, or call them and suggest a parent teacher conference to discuss some concerns.
