  Case: Calling Out for Attention
In a class I was an intern for, a young girl would randomly call out information. Clearly, the stunts were for attention, as she would talk about her personal life whenever given the opportunity (or not). The teacher of the class tried to combat by reminding the student to not share personal information and not to call aloud unless called upon, but the behavior persisted. Eventually, the child's behavior became a lot less mild after talking with counselors for some time. What else could be done for these types of behaviors?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would suggest to continue talking with the counselors, but give her some one-on-one attention. It should lower the amount of attention needed if the teacher checks on her every so often. She may have things going on at home that cause her to act this way.

Comments: I agree with this solution. It seems that the child just really wants attention and maybe isn't receiving enough at home. But regardless I would continue talking with the counselors and keeping track of the students progress.
