  Case: Trouble students
Today I was subbing, there was a student who thought it was "cool" to be disrespectful and get in trouble. This student's goal was to get in trouble. What do you do in a situation like this?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Oftentimes students need attention, so they act out in class. When my students act out, I redirect them by giving them a task or reminding them that they need to work. If the students are continually disruptive and it becomes a problem for other students, I will collect their work and escort them to another teacher's room. Removing them from a situation can sometimes help correct the problem, especially as a sub.

Comments: This is a great idea. Students out act out for attention usually won't do so if they're in an unfamiliar classroom, since they do not know the teacher well and none of their friends are in the other room.
