  Case: Disruptive Student
Jason was one of the most provocative and disruptive students in Mrs. Murphy's class. He continuously talked to girls and teased students near him. He was typically very sarcastic and responded rudely to mostly anything Mrs. Murphy said. She tried setting limits with Jason and even sending him to the detention room, but he did not show up. She sent him to the school counselor but "charmed" his way out of the remedial actions. What actions should Mrs. Murphy take next if Jason keeps his behavior?


Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Though it is not highly recommended to let your administration know that you can't handle someone in your class, if you have already sent a kid to the school counselor and this child is teasing other students and being a disruption you may need to go and speak with your administration. Sometimes the authority of an administrator coming in and letting the student know that they are there for them can be a "scare tactic" that might make a big difference. If he thinks you are going to report him to a higher authority that he doesn't want to deal with, he may improve his behavior.
