Case: Unbearable Behavior
I have been having a difficult time with one of my students. He is the child of a migrant family. Before my classroom, he attended two other schools this year. Although his grades are pretty decent, his behavior has been unbearable. He is disruptive, he bullies other children, he hurts others on the playground, and he uses profanity. I tried many different strategies with him including rewards for good behavior, creating behavior contracts, time outs, and talking, I have not been successful. A few times I tried to call his parents to have him talk to the parents about his behavior, I could not reach them. This week I sent two notes to his parents asking them to meet with me to discuss his behavior; they refused to meet with me. They told their son to tell me that they have to work during day time and they had no time to meet. I understand that they are hard working people but shouldn't they make an effort help me with their child's education? Do they not care? What should I do?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
You have tried to contact in many ways by calling, sending home notes, etc. I think it's time to take it to administration. The parents obviously aren't listening to you, maybe they will listen to the AP or principal. They can't find the time to come meet with you to discuss their child's behavior, or even talk to you on the phone? What are they going to do when their child gets suspended and they have to miss work then? Also, if he's bullying that much and hurting other students, he should have already made at least a few trips up to the office for that kind of behavior. For students like this in my county, we have to keep an FBA (Functional Behavior Assessment) on the student to document behaviors, antecedents, consequences, student reaction. Then take it to an SST. That will hopefully get the parents attention. If they don't watch out, their child could be headed for EBD, and no one wants to see that happen. So, document, document, document all you can, and talk to administration to see what they next step should be.
Also, you care otherwise you wouldn't have even gotten into education. You know deep down that this child is probably crying out for attention since his parents are so busy. That's a big reason I would hate to see him end up in EBD when a lot of the problem stems from the parents actions, or lack there of. |
