  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!)
Removing the attention given to the student either by not calling on them or acknowledging them may help, as they will not be getting the expected feedback a teacher may typically give, such as "Stop calling out." Or you could try redirection, and say "I like that you are actively participating, will you raise your hand so I can call on you."
