He will answer whatever question I ask without considering other kids who may have the answer, is hyperactive and won't listen. The other children are disturbed by him. But in exams he does well.How do I take control of him and at the same time not impact his motivation level? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I would assign this student harder assignments. This will give the student a challenge. I would also stress raising a silent hand and to wait to be called on. If the student behavior continued I would start taking away student privileges as punishment for calling out. A contract between the teacher and the student focusing on the behavior could also improve the situation.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: Rated On: March 2, 2013 2:36 pm Rated By: eHeGuL                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: I would certainly provide the student with more challenging material.
