  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!)
Does the student have an ESOL teacher, maybe address the problem with them. They could reiterate what you expect and what is not tolerated for behavior. That way the student will understand and then have the chance to learn in your class.
