  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!)
Depending upon age/grade level, conferencing with the student to address the behavior would be a good start. Consequences for violating the classroom rules should be addressed immediately pursuant to the first week of class rules/consequences that were established.

Comments: Consequences can be an important thing for impulsive students to learn, but it would require the teaching making many consequences. This way, consequences can be used often and quickly throughut the day.
