  Case: What to do when you have done everything...
I have a very intelligent student that is a huge behavior issue. He does not complete his work, he distracts other students, and talks over me during class. I have exhausted all of the behavior management options I know. I have discussed behavior with him, I have sent him to silent lunch and taken recess, I have had conferences with mom, we made a behavior contract so that he could work for a reward of his choosing, he has been written up, I have spoken to him individually in both sweet and authoritative tones, I have even tried giving him different assignments to challenge him more, but nothing keeps him working. I really could ignore this behavior, except that it distracts and bothers my other students. I need help. Does anyone have a new suggestion on how to handle my unruly behaved student?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Does he enjoy working on the computer? If so, you can assign him lessons on the computer for him to complete. I have used this some in my classroom with high learning, unruly students and it has worked. It sounds like he can learn on his own, so completing assignments on the computer may motivate him more. Also, he may feel "rewarded" by being able to work on the computer.

Comments: This could be helpful. It could allow him to work alone, but that could also be a negative.
