  Case: It Must be Opposite Day
I have a student in my classroom who does the complete opposite of everything I say. He seems genuinely remorseful when he realizes his bad choice, but he continues to do this. If I tell him to walk, he runs; if I tell him hands down, he touches; If I tell him to sit, he stands. It's very frustrating and other students are beginning to copy him. What should I do to get him to follow instructions?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Solution set up a conference with the student and his parents informing them of his behavior,remind them of your classroom expectations. Together come up with a plan that or motivating phrases that will help the student to comply with your instructions.

Comments: This solution is great because you can determine if there extenuating circumstances by meeting with the parents, and work with that information to make a plan that you can use to track progress.
