  Case: Always Off Task
I have one student in my class that is always off task. We give him options and incentives in hopes it will brings his attention back to the task or assignment but he always seems to get back off task. When he is off task he will distract other students and can make it difficult to regain full control of the class unless he is removed. Any other ideas for how to keep him on task for longer periods of time?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would have papers that can be placed on the students desk that can get him back on task. If hes distracting students isolate him from the rest of the class.

Comments: The solution is not the best. I think the isolation is not what is best for the students emotional stability. The intent was good but the delivery was poor.

Comments: I do not think this is the best solution, isolating the student is not a good idea and is not respectful of the student or their work even though they are off task.

Comments: He might be off task because the activity isn't the best for his learning style. I would suggest making an alternate assignment rather than isolating him.

Comments: Isolation may be too much at first, maybe after multiple times to stop the student but not immediately.
