I have contacted the parents with no response. I spend most of the class redirecting him. What should I do? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I would create a plan in my own classroom where he will receive some sort of punishment example, 5 mins. out at recess, no free time, new assigned seat, etc.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: New assigned seat facing the wall away from everyone.

Continuing to punish him will make him despise the teacher and the class even more. Rated On: November 6, 2023 5:16 pm Rated By: yPyZuz
