I have contacted the parents with no response. I spend most of the class redirecting him. What should I do? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Positive reinforcement would a great way to motivate this student, as stated in another post, if the parents don't seem to care then the student may not receive any positive feedback or any attention at home. If this is the case, then the student will accept any attention given and if you can positive attention would build a trusting relationship with him and intrinsically motivate him to want to better in the classroom. You may be the only one who gives them positive attention which would go a long way in the classroom.
