Case: Stealing Student I have a student in my classroom who has begun stealing things out of other student's desks. She has also taken pens and pads of paper from my desk. When the issues first began, she did not own up to her actions, however now she will say she did it. There does not seem to be any remorse and I have to ask her to apologize to others. What can I do to teach her that stealing is wrong and to prevent it from happening again? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) When the incidents first started I would have talked with the student one-on-one to review rules, set consequences, and to try and determine why. In addition, I would have contacted the parents to make them aware of the situation and to determine if this is a first time offense. If the situation is reoccurring, and is showing no remorse, I would have the student sit in a seat away from other students and have the student ask to leave their seat (which I do anyway) and would keep a closer eye on their movements. In addition, I would inform administration and the school counselor on the situation. In the past I have had a student who was a klepto, all of the teacher got together and determined we would not allow him his bookbag at his seat and would check his pockets before and after class which reduced the number of incidents (administration approved). Consequences still need to be given, so disciplines were issued for each incident and when he stole money from another student the SRO was involved, which I believe opened his eyes to the consequences of the real world. |
