  Case: Needs Attention
I have a third grade student who seems to need extra attention. The problem is, when I give him this attention he opines for more. He will disturb the students around him even when I separate him from the rest of the class. When I put him in the hall, he will disturb any student that can see him. He picks fights with anyone he can. If you ignore him, he fights for your attention. When you give him attention, he pushes for more. When you praise him for good work, he is good for five minutes. Then, he wants more praise. He is my nemeses. What do I do?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Do you implement cooperative learning with your class? Maybe he doesn't necessarily need your attention, just attention in general. Find some of his interests and apply them to his assignments he can use with a group of students. Does he do well on his assignments? Is he bored with the curriculum?

Comments: I like this idea, maybe if it is a theme or just something he is interested in. With this solution maybe he will want to share it with peers positively instead of negatively wanting attention.
