  Case: He is just being a boy!
I was in a classroom where there was a boy who most people would call obnoxious. He constantly calls out, makes fun of other students, and try to discipline other students. When trying to talk to him about what he is doing he turns it in to a joke, also the teacher had issues with the students making fun of her. When the parents have been told whats going on the dad just says " he is just being a boy, what is the big deal?" How would you handle this issue?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Set consequences for his behavior. "He's just being a boy" is not an excuse. If his parents aren't being cooperative in ending the behavior, then you have to find a solution. Talk with administration or a counselor about the issue. They may have some tips for you to handle it or they can intervene and try to correct the problem.
