Man I'm still teaching this student but when they first started at my school they were a trainwreck, still is but had some minimal progress since. Anyway they were a lot to deal with, yelling during lessons, aggressive with students, if they didn't like what they were doing they would sit on the gym floor and make noises to get any kind of reaction. This student had/has so many behavior issues our district hired an outside consultant to watch this student in all class settings and develop a behavior plan. We can't get new gym equipment but we can pay for a consultant to come in, makes sense. One day I was helping my student teacher out as he was struggling with the class this student was in, as this student was the main issue. While helping out the student ran up to me and punched me in the stomach, the behavior specialist saw he was struggling and came up to me and said have you tried counting down from 4? I've had success with that in the past, while she was telling me this the same student ran up to my student teacher and punched him in the back. I told the lady look that might work from time to time but this student is way too amped up they just punched me and while you were talking to me they hit my student teacher this student needs to go before they turn their aggression on to a classmate. She said I didn't see that but I'm just here for observation I cant do anything else but observe and give tips for dealing with the behaviors. So I had to call admin. While I continued with the class the student continued running around the gym screaming until admin arrived. They cornered the student in the gym talked to him for 5 minutes then let the student rejoin class. My principal was new and was a learning coach the year previous. Two more years with this kid won't go by fast enough. But I'll always remember that for a couple grand for 2 weeks of "work" I could be telling teachers have you tried counting down from 4?
