  Case: Student cannot and will not keep hands to himself
I am facing a situation where there is a 9 year old boy who can't keep his hands to himself. I have constantly seen him doing things like walking up behind kids and taking a wisp of hair and yanking it... flicking/kicking them from behind... coming up from behind and smacking them on one shoulder and then quickly shifting over far to the other side (you know, the old 'who's there' stunt) etc.... etc.... etc.... You never see him without his hands on somebody. Any ideas?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would have this student help me man the computer that I am projecting from. This would keep him engaged in the lesson an dhave him sit away from people he would potentially want to annoy.

Comments: While this may not help in situations outside of the classroom, I think this is a perfect solution inside the classroom as it provides extra help for the teacher and keeps the student's hands occupied in something useful/keeps him unable to touch other students.
