  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!)
It may go a long way for the teacher to be available before and after class. If this student is living in poverty she may be tired and hungry, she may not get help at home with homework. Maybe she could come in early and take a nap. Maybe it would be nice to give her a meal when she stays for after school tutoring. These may address her needs and provide a supportive adult.

Comments: If I was in this situation, I would not use this as a solution. This solution, I believe, crosses a fine line between friendship and respect of the teaccher.

Comments: It may not be possible for her to do this due to transportation and other things in her life. You cannot treat her different than the others but show her your concerns and talk to her one on one.
