Home | How It Works | Stats Login | Register         Case: Commentary is not Necessary I have a student in my 2nd grade class who just transferred from Chile. He is very loud and outspoken. He constantly interrupts the other students and says very inappropriate things to others. He sometimes struggles to understand what his peers and teachers are saying because of the language barrier. I think that his behavior is his way of coping and dealing with the major change in his life. What should I do to address this in a sensitive way not to shut him down completely? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Probably speak to his parents about this behavior and other people of the same culture as him to get a better understanding of how to react. Let the student know you only mean well but definitely do some research before speaking to him. He is having a difficult time and is misunderstood. You should also maybe let the class know that he is just struggling to fit in due to the language and culture barrier. I'm sure it'll help include him more in activities and will help him cope.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) No The suggested solution is relevant to the case No The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement No The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue No The suggested solution is original No Comments: I think trying to find a solution within the class or school first would be more appropriate. Going directly to parents isn't always the best idea. It is our jobs as educators to determine the best methods for teaching our students. Rated On: February 24, 2019 8:03 pm Rated By: Keith Evans
