  Case: Bad Influence
There is a student who is constantly telling the other students scary stories or stuff is going to happen to them. Always really negative stuff and I have talked to him many times. I have noticed that one of my more positive student is hanging around the negative student and is starting to act negative. I don't want the problems students negativity and bad attitude to rub off on my other students. How should I handle this?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
You should pull the student aside and talk to them to determine where these ideas are coming from and why they wish to share them. Be sure to inform them that this talk is not appropriate, and set up a consequences system. If this does not work, work side-by-side with the behavior specialist and contact the parents so the two of you can express your concern and find further insight into the problem, so parents can help enforce that it is inappropriate as well.

Comments: I like this solution and would use it because it first talks to the child, allows ideas to change the behavior directly from the child and then it allows for further steps if the process doesn't work.

Comments: I think this solution is the most helpful. Letting the student know what the consequences of these actions will be is a great way to help the student stop the behavior. Also, talking with the behavior specialist and having a parent-teacher conference about the child's behavior is a good thing to do to make sure that the parents are aware of their child's actions and come up with a solution.

Comments: this is perfect. pull the student aside and make sure they know what you want to happen. Maybe do not tell them right there that a system for punishment will be set up, but definitely talk to them about the consequences.
