Home | How It Works | Stats Login | Register         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!) Clearly the student does not care that calling out bothers the teacher so consequences need to be presented and acted upon. Taking away possibly groups time or computers or something that the student does enjoy participating in and possibly a call home. It sounds like the student is dying for attention and calling out is not how that happens. Speak to the student directly then be firm in removing rewards.                 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: This is a good idea in a sense but I think it should be focused on rewarding when they are good instead of punishing when they are bad.
