  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 think that I would have started with a conversation with the girl to see why the problem was happening and see if there were any resources I could provide. If it persisted I would inform the girl's parents about the disruptions. If the problem still pursued, that is when I'd involve school counselors.

Comments: This solution seems best for the scenario. It takes necessary steps, one at a time, including the parents and then finally taking it to guidance as a last resort. Parents should always be involved when possible and not taken straight to guidance.

Comments: I like your solution of talking to the girl first, then her parents, then the counselor, it seems appropriate and reasonable instead of immediately sending home a letter or contacting the counselor.

Comments: I like this solution because it takes things by steps, each time checking if the problem has been solved before moving forward. I like that it started out with talking one on one because I think it would give her the attention she needs.

Comments: I agree that the order for solving this problem would be discussions with the student and then parents. If that doesn't solve it then go to higher ups such as a counselor or administration.
