  Case: obscenity
Sixth period, the last period of the day, has just started when Kim* walks into your classroom and slams her books onto her desk.
Kim is a student who is usually moody, but in general has not caused many problems (or disturbances in your classroom, although
you have heard of her being disrespectful to other teachers). You can't help but think that first she comes late and then interrupts your
review of yesterday's material with the slamming of the books. You continue your lesson, but hear heavy sighs coming from Kim. A few moments later, you clearly hear an obscenity. What is next?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I think it is important to consider that students do not generally act out for no reason. Perhaps try to get through the lesson and have her stay after class or ask her to step out of the room to talk to her. Remind Kim that as her teacher you are there for her and if she is having any problems at home or at school then you are there to help her. If something is really wrong at home or school then it may be best for her to meet with a counselor. As for the acting out and obscenities remind her that the behavior she was exhibiting is not tolerated in school and that the actions may have consequences if she continues them.

The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes
The suggested solution is original Yes
Comments: If I were in this situation, I would do this because Kim could have an underlying problem that causes her not to want to do her work. Talking to her about what is happening in and out of school could help her open up more.
