  Case: He is just being a boy!
I was in a classroom where there was a boy who most people would call obnoxious. He constantly calls out, makes fun of other students, and try to discipline other students. When trying to talk to him about what he is doing he turns it in to a joke, also the teacher had issues with the students making fun of her. When the parents have been told whats going on the dad just says " he is just being a boy, what is the big deal?" How would you handle this issue?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Keep a record of how many times this occurs during the day and how many times you must stop class to correct his behavior. Present the data to the parents at the next meeting. Usually if you have data to prove your point, the parents can't argue that!

Comments: if the parent responded 'he's just being a boy" then it is unlikely they will care about the data. they most likely have been taking up for him his whole life. Stronger action would be needed

Comments: This method might be necessary to help put the actions of their son into perspective. It will be harder for the parents to dismiss his bad behavior if they have documentation showing just how often it occurs and what happens. If the "boys will be boys" comment comes up again you can discuss the class and school rules with the parents, once again mentioning that though you cannot control how the child acts outside of school, they do need to adhere to the rules and learn to behave inside of school if they ultimately want to succeed.
