Home | How It Works | Stats Login | Register         Case: Distracting Laughter I am currently interning in a high school ESE class and there is a student in my class that starts laughing hysterically in the middle of lessons. 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!) This behavior could be mental or a disorder if it is being repeated as you are stating. First I would talk with the student about it to find out the possible cause and to find a solution that would work for you and them.
