  Case: Pencil Chewer
In one of the classrooms I've observed, there is a student who chews the eraser to his pencil. Not only is this a distraction to the other students, but also poses a small threat to the students overall health. The teacher has told the student several times to refrain from doing this, but he continues to. I'm assuming this is a fidgeting tactic the student possesses. Any suggestions on how to terminate or lessen this behavior?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would not allow to have a student working with a pencil unless they're actively doing work and make parents aware of this as well. I was in a classroom once where this occurred and this solution worked best

Comments: This can manage their safety and distraction purposes, and contacting the parents is important as well. However, avoid having students feel isolated and targeted. Provide some alternative peace for them.
