  Case: Student Doesn't Care
I have a student in my class who doesn't seem to care about punishments or phone calls with parents. They are an issue in class; when they don't get their way, they resort to getting physical with others. I don't know how to handle them in my class. I want them to try to utilize other options, like using their words or taking a deep breath when they feel upset, but I want to know if anyone has any other suggestions.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Questions you may want to ask:
What is this student's home life situation?
Does this student have any siblings that you could talk to?
Do they have an IEP or 504 Plan?
Are there accommodations that could help the student "blow off steam" such as Brain Breaks, carpet square, fidget toys, etc?
Do you have a social worker at your school that is able to do a home visit?

Don't give up. These are the students that seem to need us the most.

Comments: i think your comment hit the nail right on the head as talking to others who may know more about the child or provide more exenstive help as well as providing physical spaces for the child are all vital.

Comments: I feel these are very important questions to ask before making any final decisions. Understanding a students home life and expectations from parents can be incredibly helpful. By first making adjustments to the students classroom experience using the questions above, a teacher can better understand the student.
