I try to ignore them but is there a better way to handle this when it happens again? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Class Dojo is the best allows you to contact parents immediately!                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes 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 do not think that contacting a parent is necessary at this time. I do like DoJo and point system for behavior so earning no points for speaking or something similar with be my first option.

Maybe after several different attempts to correct the problem would be best to try to get in touch with the parents. But if only one solution method has been used so far, other solutions should be tested first before involving anyone else.

But that also might not phase them depending on the grade level.

This shows the students that they do not have to respect their teachers, because all the teacher does is tell their parents and parents may or may not do anything to alter the behavior.

I think contacting the parents, without a warning, will be a shock to the student. Give the student a chance to change his/her behavior before calling the parents.
