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!) This should not be tolerated in any way. I would speak to the student directly in front of the class whenever he cannot keep his hands to himself and remind him of his inappropriate behavior. I would have a specific consequence set up that whenever he is seen touching or messing with another student he has to complete an extra assignment or clean the room. This would teach him that there are always other ways to keep his hands busy if he cannot keep them to himself.                 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: April 23, 2013 8:09 am Rated By: RumuVa                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) No The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement No The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue No The suggested solution is original No Comments: I don't feel like this is a good way to fix the situation Rated On: October 19, 2014 8:03 pm Rated By: veTyBa
