  Case: Classroom Theft
What do you do if you have a student that continues to steal in your classroom?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
First, I would make certain that I have the right student that is taking part in the taking of objects. Then I would let an administrator know that the issue is happening, so when I talk to the student about it and a parent calls they are aware of what is happening. I would then sit the student down and talk to them about why they are taking things. If the problem continues I would set up a meeting with the parents, and student.

Comments: I agree let an administrator what is going on and then talk to the student, but make sure it is them by having concrete proof. But if it then keeps going on with the same student I would then like you said get in contact with the parents.

Comments: If I were in this situation, I would do exactly this. Letting administrators know of the situation is very important. If the parents get angry in the situation and call the school, you want to make sure they know about the situation before hand so they are not caught off guard.

Comments: I think that going to the administration first may be more aggressive than it should be. Talking with the student and parent first, and keeping documentation, would probably be better than going to straight to an administrator.
