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!) It sounds like you have done everything to follow the proper protocol. Since you mentioned that you have not been able to contact parent for support in the matter, it makes me wonder if the student is not receiving support at home as well. Could it be possible that the student is constantly misbehaving because he or she is seeking attention? Rather than punish the student maybe you could try reverse psychology and offer him or her support and incentives. Have you offered counselor support? That might be an option as well. Good luck!                 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: Yes, exactly. This kind of behavior usually indicates problems in the home and additional support from school psychologist and counselors may be necessary.

Maybe behavioral therapy or reverse psychology will work while administration and whoever can contact a parent.
