  Case: Poverty and Suspended
I have a student in my class that curses at me every day. If she does not get her way in the classroom, then she will walk out of class. She does not complete any of her work and puts her head down in class. She has skipped my class numerous of times and I have contacted the parent. She gets suspended very frequently, but has to come back to school early, due to the lights or power being out. She comes back to school and acts the same exact way. We are starting an SST process on her now, but in the time being what are some strategies I could implement with this student?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Have you actually talk to the student and asked her how she is feeling or what is bothering her? Maybe ask her if there is something special she likes to do that only she can do at school if she can "behave"? Show her things like games at the computer she could play, if she sits at her desk and completes a specific task or participates in a large group activity. Start small so she can see you mean business. It sounds like home life is ruff and she is not sure how to express herself, but though anger. Show her as much support and love as possible open the doors to a different world, read your favorite book to her one chapter at a time when she displays good behavior.

Comments: This response show compassion to a student that definitely needs it. As teachers, we are sometimes the only stable person in a child's life. Showing support, love, and compassion may have a bigger impact than showing them their ABCs.
