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!) I would try and reach her on her level in a way. Show her respect and understanding by trying to get to know her and where she is coming from. She is clearly dealing with more than she should at her age if her power and water do not work at home. Talk with other teachers that have her and see how they are dealing with it and if they know something that you don't.
