I have written home notes-no response-taken away points and isolated him from other students. I have tried talking to him privately when this happens, but he continues. How can I handle this problem in my classroom? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Getting to the bottom of what motivates this student is critical when stopping bad behavior. It would be useful to implement tasks that the student finds engaging and relevant to their own life and learning. if the student is happy and learning in an environment that is appealing to them, they may be less inclined to use such negative language.
