  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!)
This sounds like it is out of your hands. The child sounds like he may have emotional behavior disorder, but you cannot just diagnose a student and say this. The teacher will have to document everything that occurs, along with staff in the school. Communicate with parents to make sure they know what is going on. The student will probably have to be tested and the school IEP team will probably have to take the next step from there to see if the child needs special services.
