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!) Has he been tested for gifted? Could it be that he is possibly bored? If he highly intelligent, I would do that first to see. If he does not quality, then trying the friend route. Maybe have him buddy up with a friend that is struggling with an assignment. However, I would set the rules that he must be respectful to his friend and to you. If not, then he will stop and no longer allow that day to be the helper.
