He would always sit in the back and not pay attention and refuse to do his work while making noises to distract the other students. He would sometimes throw paper balls while I was teaching. No matter how many times I sent him out or gave him consequences, nothing seemed to affect him. He was at risk of failing the third grade and having to repeat it because he would not do any work? what are some things I could do with this student? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) These cases are tough. Try to catch the student "being good" even if it is something minor, and praise him. Find some small rewards that he would like and reward him at the end of the day for improvements. This many not fully solve the problem over night but it will certainly be helpful and help bring about improvements. Most kids, even kids like the one you described, love praise and positive feedback.                 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: Students need to be praised. When they feel that all they are is getting in trouble, it sometimes pushes them to continue to make bad decisions.
