Case: Behavior Problem There is a lot going on here. I have a female student I will name Tammy. She is a tomboy. She is the biggest (tallest) girl in the classroom. She is a bully. Mom told us at the last meeting that the reason her daughter misbehaves is because we do not ask her why she isn't smiling when she is in a bad mood. We have since tried this approach, but it doesn't work. When Tammy slips into her bad moods (mom claims she is ODD, bipolar, and ADHD), she will not come back out. During a math lesson she told me that I was stupid and I don't know how to teach and I don't know what I am talking about. She is in RTI, LLI, and recently entered a behavior program to attempt to get the violent outbreaks under control. (On top of her verbal attacks, she has kicked at least one student every day for the past 2 weeks). What else can be done to control Tammy in the classroom? The parents are fed up with the phone calls home and will only accept calls about illness. Tammy knows this and uses it to her advantage. Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) It sounds as if Tammy is dealing with some problems, and sadly her parents are washing their hands of the problem. The first strategy I would do is to find out if Tammy has any other favorite subjects or teachers she is fond of at the school. Seek advice or encourage a sit down talk with Tammy from a person she respects may do some good. You can also try speaking with Tammy one on one. Next see the advise from the guidance counselor and suggest starting up the process to have Tammy being placed in a specialized class to help her behavior and physical outburst which are a constant distraction and disturbance in your class. |
