One Specific Student: Disruptive In The Classroom

Decent Essays
I want to focus in on one specific student that every in our school has trouble with. His name is Ian. He is notorious for having behavior problems and can be extremely disruptive in class. My CT has told me that the school has asked the mother to have him tested for ADHD, his mother refuses to do so because she fears the impact medication would have on him. He struggles in all of his classes but math. He is very advanced in math, so advanced that he receives challenge problems and often helps students figure out problems if they are having difficulty. He is still very disruptive in Math but he does his work. He rarely does his work in our class or any other humanities class for that matter. We have heard that the math teacher has used positive

    A study known as the Taiwan Study proved that kids diagnosed with ADHD decreased from the youngest to the oldest in their classes. In most cases the child is diagnosed from not meeting a typical expectation in school. However, many young children find it to be a struggle to sit still and pay attention and this is what commonly makes teachers believe their students have ADHD. Many experts say that teachers observations shouldn’t be the only thing that the diagnosis is based off of. The child's doctors should take their observations into account but should make the final decision based off of a medical standpoint.…

    In other words, I feel like his behaviors is more covered with of emptiness and inappropriate behaviors, so learning with reinforcements seems better to eliminate those unwanted behaviors. For instance, to increase his appropriate behavior with positive reinforcement, we can give him candies or desserts whenever he speaks and participates in class (not only to the teacher but also when they are doing group work with his friends), or even providing pizza parties when he obtains more than 20 candies or shows more effort on participating. For another example, we can give an “A” or an award on any of the classes he’s doing good at. Let’s say he is still smart in math, giving him an “A” or an award will bring at least one positive behavior towards him when he walks into his math…

    Patrick is an active kid, he plays outside, loves talking, but has a hard time staying still in class. Patrick is just a normal boy, if a little bit on the energetic side, but his teacher Ms. Smith does not want to stimulate Patrick the way he should be. She claims that he has severe ADHD and gets him prescribed on buckets of drugs which turns him into a vegetable. This exists in many elementary schools around the nation, and is a horrible truth we cannot escape. Far too many children are being diagnosed with learning disabilities; these “disabilities” are many times diagnosed by school faculty that have no medical background, and the students are put on drugs that make them as brain dead as a zombie to keep them from being rambunctious.…

    One of the many controversial topics today, medicational abuse for enhancing academic success and excuses for misbehavior in the classroom, has many hidebound viewpoints. It is believed by some that ADHD is a very significant disease that cannot be controlled without medicine. This is strongly displayed in today's society. The disorder, ADHD, is often controlled by some sort of medicine that is most likely overprescribed by a physician, giving students an unfair advantage in the classroom, and abused by students that do not have the disorder in order to elevate test scores and increase focus. Many physicians or doctors are often pressured into prescribing their patients ADHD medicine.…
