  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!)
I would give that student responsibility in the classroom that way their bad behavior will transform into a more positive mindset. I have learned that students with bad behaviors need to be given the attention they are looking for but in a good way. For example, you could have he/she transition the class from their seats to the door when it is time to go somewhere.
