I've conferenced with the student, removed him from the class, wrote the student up, started a behavior plan and called home. Unfortunately, I cannot get in contact with the parent to receive support on this matter. How should I go about handling this disruptive behavior. Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Being that you could not get in contact with a parent to help decrease this student behavior, I would request for a home visit. I would also request for the student to be suspended until a parent conference. In my school, if we are unable to contact a parent, the student will be suspended up to 10 days until a parent conference. Most times, the parent comes the next day.                 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: A home visit could help.

Visiting the home may be a great way to see what is happening at home as well as the parents may not have a means to visit the school. The suspension seems harsh but sound like a reasonable solution to let the parents know it is a serious matter.

Given the fact that the student is disruptive, and that the parent can't be contacted, it is obvious that the home life is not very stable. Suspension will only make it worse and may lead to the child being out all day unsupervised. I would try another course of action, such as guidance counselor or social services intervention. But I would not suspend the child. Some children need to be a safe haven for them.
