He puts his hand into his pants while doing his work. I try to pull him aside and tell him that big kids don't put their hand in their pants. He says he understands but it seems as though it is a habit that he can not break. It might be supplemented by the parents or that they don't care if he does it or not. I plan on addressing the parents with the issue but what can I do if they become uncooperative. Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I think that the first thing you should do in this situation is have a conference with the parents. If he is exhibiting this behavior at home and they are not addressing it then it will probably not change at school. While Andrew is working give his a fidget to keep his hands busy and out of his pants. It might also be a good idea to get a counselor involved to talk to him about what is an isn't appropriate behavior in class.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: Since this is such a personal subject, talking with parents first could be smart!
