The classroom had two teachers and they are fantastic. These women were extremely nice and caring to their students. So I know it was not how they were saying it. One teacher informed me that it does not matter who says something to him this is how he reacts. She told me she would take him out of the class and they would go for walks so he could calm down and not be embarrassed by crying in the classroom. When they would get back in the class the teacher would sit privately with the student so he could complete the work. I am aware of his underlying issue. But I was wondering what other ways can the teachers try and fix this problem that does not involve removing the student from the classroom? I know they do it with best intentions but then the student misses out on educational time. Are there other ways to correct him that would not cause him to cry? The teachers are not yelling. They say things like "I am not a fan of your behavior right now" or "that is not the right way to do that but here let me show you how". They are taking the appropriate steps but I feel like it is the child who does not respond well to any type of criticism. Any advice? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) The interesting way these teachers handled this matter. I think singling a student out of the class then bringing them back in and doing one on one work may help the problem continue going. Some students need to learn about criticism, perhaps do a lesson on criticism, make sure the student knows that everyone in life has to be corrected, that it is not something to cry about. You will be okay just do a bit better next time to make sure you don't make the same mistake. I think crying is stems from the problem that the student may not know how to handle these said criticisms.
