There is little to no knowledge of the students records from previous schools. The parents are not involved with the teacher or the school and are rather irritated when contacted with either notes home or phone calls. This student throughout the day refuses to do the work provided to them or listen to anything the teacher has to say. When doing classwork the student would either rip up the work, yell at the teacher or throw things across the room. So far administration has said to ignore the student and do not give him attention other than redirecting him when needed. Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I think this behavior is definitely a reflection of the parent's behavior. If they do not want to get involved with how their child is acting at school, obviously nothing is going to change because it doesn't seem like the parents are doing anything to improve his behavior. Talk with the administration and explain that action should be taken with the student and that they need to get the parents involved. Maybe having the student meet with the school counselor or therapist once or twice a week may be helpful as well. I don't think that the student's actions should just be ignored.
