  Case: Age is a problem
Mrs. Honeycutt has a student in her 7th grade class that is 16 years old. He is constantly disrupting the class and does no work at all. All the kids try their best to impress him even if it means breaking rules. When this student is not at school everything runs much smoother. This student also bullies younger students because he is much older and larger. What should be done about this?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would start by having a student/parent/teacher/administrator conference that includes that particular student, his or her parent(s),the team of teachers that teach this student, and an administrator. As the teacher that set up the conference, I would explain to the student & parent(s) the purpose of the conference. I would explain to the student and parent(s) the behavior policy and let the parent(s) know what will happen as a result of this student not following the expectations of the school. I would give the parent(s) and student an opportunity to speak. I would also point out the student's strengths or possible strengths. After the meeting, I would track this student's behavior for about 2 weeks. I no progress has been made, then I will start this student on a behavior SST plan, and continue to track data from there.

Comments: I agree holding a conference could be beneficial for the student as his behavior could be a result from something going on at home. I may also suggest getting outside help for this student such as frequent visits to the counselor to get a better understanding of where the student stands and keep a record of his progress.
