  Case: Inappropriate Rapping
In my internship class, there is a high school ESE student that is constantly rapping loudly. They are rapping songs that are incredibly inappropriate. The teacher of the class just ignores them or tells them to stop but then doesn't do anything if the student continues. I feel like I should do something but I'm just not sure what.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would talk with your CT first to figure out why she's allowing this behavior to persist and ensure that she will back you up if you are going to reprimand the student. I would ask the student to please stay on task if he is rapping during the lesson. Once he is finished with the lesson, you could ask him to write down his raps or type them on a computer if they are doing it aloud. You could also offer them the opportunity to listen to music with headphones after completing the lesson if they listen quietly.

Comments: I think this is the best solution. You have to respect your CT and they may have something in place that your not aware of. I also think that giving the student a first do this/then you can do this is useful. If they do their work without rapping then they can listen to music for 5 minutes or however long you all agree on.

Comments: I like this solution. It gives them something to look forward to after the lesson which they are probably not interested in. It also gives them a reason to be quiet during the lesson.

Comments: I love that you mention talking to the CT, some people wouldn't do this. Listening with their headphones might help once they complete their work.

Comments: If I were in this situation, I would exactly do this. Those are all great suggestions and I think free time to listen to music would be an excellent motivator to stay on task.
