  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!)
If the student doesn't seem to care about consequences try to get to the root of the problem. Why do they not care about consequences? As teachers we wear many different hats such as a counselor, a guardian and an educator. A possible solution is to try to get the know the student on a personal level and see about their homelife as well as continuing to talk to the parents about the child's behavior
