Difficult Students  \nJames Nugent  \n# Introduction\n\nI have taken a dozen of classroom management workshops inmy 31 years as a public educator.They have been sometimesmore or less useless.The problem seems to always be adisconnect,between what is supposed to happen in the mindof the author,and what happens in real life.  \nOften the educational theory involves a system of rewards andunpleasant consequences for student behavior.The theory isthat given a choice students will choose the rewards and avoidthe unpleasant consequences.This is often true and validtheory.  \nHowever,sometimes this method doesn't work.A few  \nnoncompliant students become chronic offenders who sit outof class and social times for many hours a week.No amount ofpunishment seems to get their cooperation.If you visit anyelementary or middle school in the United States,you willmostlikely see these \"frequent flyers\"lounging around the mainoffice.  \nAlthough all the following case studies are completely fictitiousand in no way represent particular people with whom I haveworked;you will instantly recognized these \"frequent flyers\"inyour school.  \nI first became aware of this chronically noncompliant group ofstudents as an intern for my MA Degree in Counseling andCommunity Psychology.There was a small and mighty group ofdisruptors in the middle school who immediately sank to thelowest possible level in the school honor system.No Matterhow rigged the system;some students would not even try toachieve the artificial rewards offered.Appropriate behaviorseemed an insurmountable goal.Even trying to comply was notof worth taking the risk disappointment and possible failure.  \nThe frequent flyer has a sure fire method of getting power andcontrol.Simply not following the rules of deportment andsafety resulted in a very swift and predictable result.It seemedbetter to be punished than to risk the tricky and sometimesunrewarding waters of social conformity.  \n# When is misbehavior a disability?\n\nThere are some student who won't behave well and others whocan't behave well.Sometime it is a murky judgment call.Twostudents may done the same misdeed.One could have autismand can't understand the nature of what is happening socially.This student could have been on sensory overload when theyhit another student.The other student may have patiently  \nwaited months before the saw the opportunity to strike astudent who has slighted them in the past.  \nBoth students willland in the Vice Principal's office.If justice isto be served one student must receive a suspension for severaldays and a report to his probation officer.The other must havetheir program modified so they don't get overwhelmed andfreak out.One must have customized consequences whichmake the assault not worth it and the other must have closersupervision and perhaps a set of earmuffs available for thetimes when the situation is too loud for them to tolerate.Bothstudents need one on one time with the counselor.  \nThis booklet will focus on the student who in a particular  \nsituation has the potential ability to behave well in a classroomsetting but chooses not to do so.There are programs already inexistence which manage the behavior students who suffer froma disability.Being behaviorally disabled can be a devastatinghandicap for the student and intolerable for those peoplearound them.It takes a team of specially trained SpecialEducation Teachers and Staff but there is great hope for thestudent.  \nThe student who chooses not to behave well has an evenharder road to travel.If they fail to comply they almost alwayswill not graduate.Their future is bleak.They will almost always  \nbe involved in drugs,unemployment and the criminal justicesystem.  \nThese are the most difficult students to assist into successfulacademic and social adju","cbCailePIySzvBqu","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCailePIySzvBqu","pdf",1993453,32,"English","# Introduction\n## When is
