Case: Overly Touchy ESOL Student
I have a student in my 1st grade class who is very sweet and willing to learn. He is an ESOL student who has not even been in the United States for a year. The teacher I am working with has had an issue with this student crossing the lines with many rules (getting up out of his seat without asking, running in line, etc.) because every other adult at the school doesn't feel they should correct him because he "won't understand." This is not the case. However, because this little boy has been able to get away with so much, he has now taken to getting a little too friendly with some of the young ladies in the classroom--nothing inappropriate, but we will often find him petting their hair while we are sitting on the carpet, he will hug them, and he gets very close to their face when he says hello to them in the morning. Some of these girls do not welcome this affection. Any suggestions on steps that should be taken?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would have a meeting with the student in private explaining how his actions are not appropriate and what you should be doing in school. If I thought the student wouldn't understand because of the language barrier I would use pictures and gestures to show him. The consequence would also need to be explained and enforced as well. If the behavior continues I would then ask for a conference with the student's parents. I would inform the other teachers as well that he has been informed of this bad behavior, knows that he should not be doing it and understands the consequences. I would then ask them to please not let him get away with it. |

| Comments: Language barrier isn't an excuse for teachers thinking a student won't understand. This opens the door to more trouble as noted here and for other children to act out as well. |

| Comments: Because this is an ESOL student I think it's important to find out more about his culture. In his culture his behavior may be appropriate. |
