  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 have students like this all the time. The first thing I suggest is trying to build a repertoire with the students. This always makes them more apt to listen when you discipline them. Have firm expectations and unchanging consequences so they are not surprised when they receive punishment!

Comments: I believe that repertoire with students should be the building block for learning. Not only show them that you are in charge of the classroom, but you also have an eye out for their needs.
