  Case: Difficult Behavior
I have two students 8th grade who are inseparable, and all they do is talk while I am teaching. One student cares what I think about him and wants to succeed in school (student A), but the other student does not care to listen to the direction at all (student B). I sat these students at other ends of the classroom, but they always seem to find their way back to each other and start talking again. I told student A to get up and move if student B comes to sit with him in class, this seems to work but this has started to make Student B even more difficult in my classroom. Student B is becoming more upset with me and is starting to act out in class even more since he can not talk to his friend. What else can I do to keep these students motivated in my class?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would try to talk to student B on a more personal level instead of disciplining them maybe just talk to them and explain how it hurting their future and other students around them by not learning the content.

Comments: Talking to the student personally is a great idea as it is not signaling him out to the rest of the classroom. Instead of disciplining, talking on a personal level may help build a connection between you and the student.

Comments: Not all children listen to yelling/ discipline like student B. If you pull them aside and talk respectfully and show that you are doing this because you care for them and their education, they will more than likely respect you back.
