  Case: Staring
You have a new student. This student walks up to you and bumps into you. The student says sorry but the frequency makes you think student is doing it on purpose. It makes you wonder if the student has an ear infection. However the student stares at you while you are teaching making you question more about the student. What should be done?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I think it's important to first have a discussion with the parents to see if this is something that happens at home as well and then to talk with other teachers to see if they have the same situation and how they deal with it. The student may not be aware of what they're doing. I would also sit down with the student to try and assess where they are emotionally and intellectually.
