  Case: Student Hiding Under Desk
There is one student in the general education classroom who tends to get off task. He is constantly hiding under his desk when I am teaching and it causes distribution in the classroom. I do not want to stop the class session to correct his behavior and sometimes he does not even listen when I do. What are the solutions for this?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
When behaviors like this are present, I think it is best to be direct immediately, so the student knows they aren't going unnoticed. A simple warning like, "John, that is unacceptable behavior, you will be walking 5 laps at recess if you do not return to your seat." If he doesn't respond after that, then I would continue through the lesson and conference with the student to explain what they did, why it's unacceptable school behavior, and what their consequence is.
