He constantly calls out, makes fun of other students, and try to discipline other students. When trying to talk to him about what he is doing he turns it in to a joke, also the teacher had issues with the students making fun of her. When the parents have been told whats going on the dad just says " he is just being a boy, what is the big deal?" How would you handle this issue? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Many times it is difficult for parents to admit there is an issue with their child because it makes them feel like they have failed as a parent in some way so this may be the reason he said "he is just being a boy". I think it is important to make sure the parents understand you are not placing any blame on them but the behavior is serious and inappropriate. Perhaps a behavior contract would be beneficial for this student. Something that the parents can help create so there is consistency at home and at school.
