My CT usually sends them outside (we have courtyard outside the classroom) to calm down. It rarely works though and the student still ends up laughing hysterically. It is very distracting when I am teaching and to the other students. Any ideas on how to control them? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Ignoring the behavior is ideal; however, it seems that is difficult to do here. Finding or identifying the trigger(s) to the laughter is essential. If able, provide redirection or a distractor when it is believed the behavior will be triggered.
