  Case: Needs Attention
I have a third grade student who seems to need extra attention. The problem is, when I give him this attention he opines for more. He will disturb the students around him even when I separate him from the rest of the class. When I put him in the hall, he will disturb any student that can see him. He picks fights with anyone he can. If you ignore him, he fights for your attention. When you give him attention, he pushes for more. When you praise him for good work, he is good for five minutes. Then, he wants more praise. He is my nemeses. What do I do?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Give the student classroom jobs. Use positive reinforcement. Implement a reward system for when he is not being a disruption and follows directions.
