In my internship theirs a student that doesn't do any work and disrupts the classroom by shouting out things like "this is stupid"," boring" or mimics the teacher. CT is going nuts trying to control this student. She has called admin and they take him to the office and is given an I pad for him to play on for the rest of the day. What are good ways to calm this students down. Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) He is essentially being rewarded for his poor behavior. I would not have him taken out of the class and I would certainly not suggest giving him an iPad for the remainder of the day. This student continues to act out because he knows that behavior will grant him what he desires. Depending on the age of the student, I would take recess time away (if in Elementary school), would assign the student to be a teacher's helper for the afternoon, etcetera. Something that would give the student attention but keep him in the classroom.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: I completely agree with your response, giving the student an iPad and taking him out of class is what he wants and is definitely not the solution to the problem. If anything, the student will continue to act out on a daily basis as to get sent to the office more often and be able to play on the iPad. I think that taking away special things that they like to do is a great way for them to understand that the behavior that they are portraying is not acceptable. Also, I think that having a reward system would be a great way to help that student work harder to behave towards something that he really wants to earn.
