  Case: Always Off Task
I have one student in my class that is always off task. We give him options and incentives in hopes it will brings his attention back to the task or assignment but he always seems to get back off task. When he is off task he will distract other students and can make it difficult to regain full control of the class unless he is removed. Any other ideas for how to keep him on task for longer periods of time?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would try talking to the parent to see if they are having the same issue at home with the student when they are doing their home work. They might have ADHD and need different strategies for them.

Comments: I do not think talking to the parents should be the first thing you should do. There are many strategies you can try before getting the parents involved.

Comments: This is a great idea. It is smart to know if the student has any learning disabilities at all to further improve their learning capacity.
