  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!)
You can ignore it and go through your lesson not acknowledging their misbehavior like has been suggested many times before, or you can handle it early and have them removed from class early, before your whole class has been disrupted by either them acting out or you constantly having to tell them to be quiet or stop. Handle the situation with giving them the least amount of attention.

Their general ed teacher probably has specifics for dealing with this students who they should already know is a trouble students. If possible, talk to your teacher first. If unable, handle it strictly. They are most likely acting out more than normal because you're a sub. Don't let this be acceptable.
