  Case: Aggressive Behavior
In a class I was an intern for, a student would get random bursts of anger in which he would flip his desk, storm out of the room, or throw books. This behavior was posing a threat to other students, so the teacher isolated the student's desk permanently and sent the student to the counselor. Time and time again, the behavior persisted. Personally, I think the child has some sort of anger management issues, but there is nothing the educator can do solely. What would be the next appropriate action?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would create a "break desk" that has different puzzles and coloring books for the students to calm down. I would explain to the student that whenever he/she gets upset that he/she can take a 2 minute break to calm down before resuming activities.
