What if my Students LIKE going to the office?

I have a student who calls out everything in his head, whether it's rude or not. He doesn't do his work and he walks around the room making comments and touching other students and their things. I can't send him to the office anymore because "he likes it too much" (according to admin. and even the boy himself). So that's it, huh? I'm just supposed to let him stay in my class and be out of control? I'm told I can call admin. to my class, but whenever they leave, there he goes acting out again. He is not the only problem student, so I can't focus all of my attention on him.

I'm also told that I can call this kid's mom (as if I can afford to interrupt more lessons). I've tried but she sometimes doesn't answer her phone. She has a talk with him everyday (for the past 3 months) and nothing has changed! We even had a meeting with admin.

What can I DO? I don't feel like I have any rights. My colleagues said they would take prob. students but they all refuse to take him! I'm SICK.

Keep writing paperwork, and on EVERY SINGLE STINKING ONE you should include several of the following:

It is my professional opinion that (Johnny) cannot function in a mainstreamed classroom. .

I firmly believe that (Johnny) needs to be evaluated by district specialists to determine his eligibility to be mainstreamed.

His constant disruptions are in direct violation of the OTHER STUDENT'S RIGHTS to an education in the least restrictive environment.

I have (29) other kids who are suffering because of this one student.

Every effrort has been made by myself to solve this problem, but I feel that my efforts have been made in vain. I sincerely wish to discuss, in person, this problem with both the administration, district specialists, the superintendant, and (Johnny)'s parents.

(Johnny)'s out of control behavior may be tolerable to some, but clearly it is only getting worse. How long will the administration stand by while (Johnny) becomes an INCREASING LIABILITY to the school district? I fear it is only a matter of time before (Johnny) finds new, and more harmful, ways to act out. Then who will take responsibility?


The point is, you gotta get the attention of the administration by using imposing, scary, doom-predicting words....the kind that a psychologist might use. Big words that carry heavy conotations. You have to DOCUMENT EVERY THING!!!!!! And write that kid up EVERY DAY!!!!

At worst, who cares if he LIKES going to the office???? You want him out of your room!!!!! Mission accomplished. YES, you CAN KEEP SENDING HIM THERE! Get that kid out of there......at some point he has to be accountable. And when he ends up a miserable failure in life, it wont be your fault.......he'll have put himself in the gutter....not you.....get that kid OUT TODAY!!!! And do whatever you can to get some attention on that kid. Even if he "likes it".....GIVE HIM ALL THE ATTENTION he wants! I gaurantee......there will be a point when the attention becomes the kind he wont like....and you just keep heaping it on until you break him! Like a wild horse! You gotta snap that kid in half, figuratively speaking.

Hi I have taught students with similar conditions. The next step is to rule out any possible medical conditions that might be effecting his behaviour. He should get a referal to a pediatrician. Are you familar with Tourette's Syndrome. It a disorder which fits perfectly to what you are describing. How old is the child, is this a pattern that has been repeated during his schooling?

Good Luck!

I am a kid at a school and i have a classmate that really annoys a lot of people. Our teachers try to be nice, but nothing happens. Once, he even jumped on a desk. If i were a adult, i would take him to the principal's office. punish him by not letting him get electives, or fun things. Our teacher is taking us to field trips, but if you were bad, no field trip for you!
