  Case: Doesn't Listen
I have a student who consistently calls out in class. Even when I give explicit instructions and directions, the student still will call out. This student does so to be funny and to get attention. How can I handle it in a way that doesn't draw attention to the bad behavior? I've tried positive reinforcement but it doesn't seem to work that well.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
There may be something going on in that student's life that you may not know. He may be craving attention. Moreover, in his mind, negative attention is better than no attention. If you have established a rapport with him, discuss it with him one day. Let him know you care and that you are there for him.
