  Case: Disruptive student
When working in a high school ESE center school, primarily EBD students, I had a very disruptive student. He thought it was funny to re-arrange furniture. He even went so far as to break into my CTs classroom and destroy the room. He's thrown desks at us to the point where the entire teaching lesson is lost to his behavioral problems. My CT tried to have a conferences but the student refused. After almost two weeks out of class the student was back, unknown to my CTs knowledge why because he had yes to apologies. Her suprervisor said the student was falling too far behind and she was the only history teacher. A course he needs to pass to graduate. The problems continued right away, although he didn't have the backing of his peers. With him gone the rest of class fell in line and tried to help us get him to behave. The problem still continued what could be do next or done differently?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Directly reach out to administration and the parents immediately. This kind of behavior is to not be expected or tolerated. I have heard about some students speaking to the principal and the principal explaining that if the disruptions continue it will be an automatic fail and to not graduate. I have heard this has helped because they understand the severity that if they continue, they may get kicked out of school or may not graduate. This can help get their attention that if they decide to not behave, then it is solely on them that they will not graduate or come back to school.
