  Case: Parents Have Tried Everything
There is a student who entered my school as a fourth grader this year. After a week of school, the teacher contacted the parents about the student's misbehavior. The parent notified the teacher that the student has a problem with authority. She stated that the student has always been this way and that nothing worked. His previous school tried everything, including suspension, and she cannot find a solution to help this student at home. The student is being monitored for Tier 2- behavior, but there is not enough data to move him to tier 3. Although the student is capable of producing quality work, the student's behavior has a negative effect on his grades. What can be done?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Without knowing everything you have tried to control the students misbehavior, I would make a few suggestions. If the student is capable of producing quality work, it may be that the student is not capable of sitting still in a desk for any length of time to produce quality work. Differentiation in assignments, of course, would be one option to try. I would try allowing the student to assist in duties around the classroom to keep him/her active but focused, not allowing time to misbehave.
