  Case: student always wanting attention
In a class i substituted for, there was this student who would always try to get my attention to show me everything they were doing or to ask for help on things she really did not need help on. This was a disruption as I had to stop talking to the students wether as a class or individually to see what the student needed. What solution do you suggest for this?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I can see that by you always responding and dropping everything, including conversations with other students, to speak with said student, you are reinforcing their behavior. They will think that they can talk and say and do whatever they want and get your attention always.
