  Case: Student cannot and will not keep hands to himself
I am facing a situation where there is a 9 year old boy who can't keep his hands to himself. I have constantly seen him doing things like walking up behind kids and taking a wisp of hair and yanking it... flicking/kicking them from behind... coming up from behind and smacking them on one shoulder and then quickly shifting over far to the other side (you know, the old 'who's there' stunt) etc.... etc.... etc.... You never see him without his hands on somebody. Any ideas?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would have a zero tolerance policy for anyone touching each other. I would make sure I do not single out this student while going over these rules but I will have him sitting front and center to he can hear the consequences clearly. I will be sure to enforce the consequences to any student that breaks the rules. I also will try positive reinforcement for this student, every day he does not hit someone or touch someone he will earn a star, once he earns 10 stars he will earn a reward.

Comments: I like the idea of a clearly defined zero tolerance policy with meaningful consequences. It puts the choice in the students hand as to whether he follows the rules or gets the defined repercussions. I however feel a reward system for simply following instruction is not the best idea.
