  Case: Blurting Out
The year has gotten off to a great start except for one thing. In one of my classes, I have a student who seems too eager to please, and blurts out answers to questions whenever I try to have a teacher-led discussion. What should I do?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
The way I would try to solve this problem is to meet privately with the student. I would tell the student that each time they blurt out an answer they will get a mark on a check sheet. The check sheet would have ten squares to pt marks. Once the check sheet is filled up the student would receive a reprimand. The type of reprimand would be an agreed upon deterrent from both the teacher and the student. By having a agreed upon deterrent, this would help by building a commitment between the teacher and the student.
