He is a very active student, and is always talking or moving about the room. When he is blatantly being disrespectful (i.e. purposefully bothering another student who is asking him to stop) and me or the teacher asks him to return to his desk or leave the student alone, he will scream out about how he "wasn't even doing anything" or just make loud, upset noises and then make a scene. If he is off task and I or the teacher asks him to get back on task, he will shut down, make a comment, or walk out of the room. The words we are using are soft, and never accusatory. How should I get this kid back on task without him shutting down or making a scene?? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) This, of course, happens way too much. I think that this needs to be discussed as a whole with the parents.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) No The suggested solution is relevant to the case No The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement No The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue No The suggested solution is original No Comments: I don't think that running straight to the parents before trying anything else is the way to go.

I think it's best to exhaust all options first directly with the student, and only go to parents as a last resort.

It's not offering any real solution.

I think going straight to the parents is extreme and can make the situation worse, not better. I would not follow this advice.

The student needs to be spoken to about behavior and then discussed with parents after there is a better understanding of what is going on.
