Robert, Aside from his home environment and being disruptive, what other things can you tell us about him? Was he "on track" academically ---or was this one of the reasons why he "didn't get it?" I had one of those classes this year with a few of those 5th and 6th graders...so I think I know what you're talking about. I worked around some of my issues with my trouble-makers, with some success. However, could you describe a really irritating incident or some of the things that would cause him to disrupt the class? Was he on an IEP or was he just a kid with some issues that needed to be addressed one-on-one? ~Shonda On 6/9/07, Robert <robert@gcronline.com> wrote: > 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.
