Now that the school year is over for most of us, I am asking to look back on your year if you can provide me any helpful & accomplished techniques/strategies for dealing with a difficult/disruptive child in the library media center. He will be a 5th grader and comes from an unpleasant home environment and background . He knows how to push my buttons and this past school year was a year of torement and torture. I have done all I can do although I have thought of some new ideas. I need some ways to "win him over" for one final year & 56 visits. I as a human being and employee should not have to endure the torture and torement. Some of the kids in the class "egged him on" and fed him what he wanted. So, his classmates were also a challenge as much as he was. The only relief to me this past school year was sending him to the principal, but this was each visit. That's what he wanted. Everything we attempted to do instructionally resulted in his comment "I don't get this" even when I paired him up with a buddy. With the temperment of both the child and the class, I did not get anything accomplished with the class as a whole. I have checked lm net archives under dealing with / disruptive / difficult/ children and nothing there. I am interested in hearing from anyone who has walked in my shoes and their successess. Many, many thanks !
