He continuously talked to girls and teased students near him. He was typically very sarcastic and responded rudely to mostly anything Mrs. Murphy said. She tried setting limits with Jason and even sending him to the detention room, but he did not show up. She sent him to the school counselor but "charmed" his way out of the remedial actions. What actions should Mrs. Murphy take next if Jason keeps his behavior? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I think putting the student by himself may help the disruption. Keeping him isolated in the room for a long period of time may not be helpful, but situating him in a position that he isn't going to disrupt students may help the class flow better without his disruptions. Making sure to explain to him what is happening may also help, but this doesn't help all students. I recommend giving it a few days to start and see how he does. Document his behaviors when he isn't seated with other students and if need be, do not let him work with groups of students during class to stop the disruption. I don't think doing this either for a long period of time will be beneficial to him, but it sounds like he hasn't been working with the plan so far.
