One strategy that I would recommend to his caretakers at home is the use of timeouts. As shown in McIntyre’s website, http://behavioradvisor.com/ParentStrategies.html, time out is a removal of the individual from a rewarding situation and placing them in a secluded part of the household. Giovanni’s frustration in the household is not seen as a problem, but as behavior that children display in their youth. Based on my conversation with the student, the caretaker’s response his frustration is to give him video games and toys, which helps him calm down. The behavior may stop for a moment, but then it resurfaces when he is asked to do homework. His aggression and violent behaviors should not be rewarded, but replaced with more positive ones.

In chapter 3 Another Smart Choice for Dealing with Feelings, the student is presented with a strategy, which can be used to deal with tough situations. This strategy is called stop, think, choose and think again. There are times when Giovanni becomes frustrated and unable to complete his work. He can become angry and act inappropriately in the heat of the moment. The stop, think, choose and think again strategy provides the student with a plan when faced with a tough situation. As stated in the text “The first thing is to be sure that you don’t do anything you’ll regret later. Tell yourself, “Stop!” Don’t do anything! Just stand or sit and be quiet” (McIntyre, 2013, pp.31). The strategy allows the student to think about his actions and stray away from responses, which may escalate the situation. After using the other three strategies think, choose and think again the student is able to reflect on his actions, using strategies, such as self …show more content…
Giovanni may feel like the only way to get attention is by acting out. Often times, parents and teachers can forget to acknowledge the good decisions that students make and notice the bad ones. This chapter would be very useful to Giovanni, as it could enhance the relationship between his mother and grandmother. For example, when Giovanni receives a good grade on an exam he can tell them about it. By following this tip, he can take pride in his accomplishments and make fewer wrong decisions. In order to be successful in school, students must be equipped with good academic behaviors. Some examples of good academic behaviors include persisting through tough tasks and handing in homework assignments in a timely manner. In order to do so, both the parent and the student must work together to implement a schedule for work and playtime. By following this strategy, it meets the demands of both the parents and the teacher. After he finishes his homework, he is allowed to play his videogames for a certain amount of time, such as
Mateo gets distracted easily and its hard for him to stay focused on one task. The first 4 weeks, he was good, he work and tried his best. I used a lot of verbal encouragement and it worked. Then the next 3 weeks of school, he was like different kid, he could not stay on task, he started putting things on his mouth, pushing, grabbing other students. I seemed like he did not had control over his arms or body, he apologized to his friends. I talked to him, and he said that he did not know he was doing it until it was done. When

In Richard Rodriguez essay “Scholarship Boy,” he explores his past, now as a thirty year old man, and gives his readers a very well painted picture of what a scholarship boy truly is. Rodriguez mentions that from an early age he had put a boundary between his school and home life. However, it is worth mentioning that in his younger years he almost seemed to attempt to force both lives together. He mentions how he would constantly correct his parent’s grammatical errors, or tell them what he had learned in an effort to hurt their feelings. In this way he had taken on a superior attitude towards his parents and did his best to shame them into becoming the type of parents he had yearned for; the parental figures he had come to find in his teachers.
At lunch times because he was always getting in trouble he knows stops inside with a few other children and makes paper aeroplanes and have races with them or they play with the cars for example and then at 12:45 he goes outside and plays football with a small group of children with one of the learning methods. Since this has happened we have seen a massive improvement in his behaviour and lunch times for him have been much better and because of
In the chapter 2 of the book Hunger of Memory: “The Achievement of Desire” by Richard Rodriguez, he talks about how he attains academic success in expense of the life he used to love prior to stepping in school. Rodriguez starts his education having little to no knowledge of speaking English but with sufficient support of his parents and the parochial school in which he learns to do grammar, he later finds himself studying at British Museum. However, he argues that he achieves his success because of being a scholarship boy. He describes himself as an enthusiastic student and unconfident, opposite to his siblings, but his enthusiasm to learn became problematic at home as he starts to see the dissimilarity between home and school and when he is unable to receive academic help from his parents. Thus, force him to adapt and commit himself to study, he starts to read book to isolate himself at home. His persistent to learn became the reason to lose his balance between the two worlds he lives in. Rodriguez admits “A primary reason for my success in the classroom was that I couldn’t forget that schooling was changing me and separating me from the life I enjoyed before becoming a student” (2).
His triggers are usually when he is asked to sit down within the circle during circle time. The behavior is him pulling away, crying, and hitting, trying to escape the actual activity. The maintaining consequence is that the adults let Raul leave the circle. There is not much fight with Raul because all those involved do not want the other students to become distracted. The first prevention is to give Raul some type of choice to coincide with circle time. A visual activity schedule could give him a more clear idea of what he should be doing and what the daily lessons and activities are. Raul will know exactly where he needs to be and what he needs to be doing at that particular time. Also, manipulatives and intermittent praise are other preventions that the teacher can use. Intermittent praise is praised use throughout the activity but not regularly. This type of praise is given to become persistent. The new skills that can be developed are a part of the plan and may be implemented accordingly. Raul may have increased time of engagement, such as a longer duration of sitting within the circle. Raul will say “all done” when he has completed a task so praise can be given. This will help the adults notice him if he is not given the correct amount of attention. The responses to Raul for sitting longer will also be all positive praise toward
Education gives guidance to adolescent minds and teaches them to be a good contributing citizen. Jimmy’s high school years were challenging due to his illiteracy; academics became a problem, though he thrived on extracurricular activities like football. “I hated books, I hated reading, I hated everything about school except football (Baca 28).” Jimmy feels segregated from his classmates. Not only, are his classmates wealthy students with social status. But also Jimmy believes he is they property of the state, so he believes no one cares about his well
Carrion, Elder Homework as a lifestyle Education has been adding new methods in order to give students the opportunity to be capable of becoming successful individuals in society. On the other side, the quantity and frequency of homework assigned may generate discrepancies in how kids are organazing their time after a prolonged journey in classes. Also, the relevance of homework impacts the process of learning and the formation of kids’behaviors. As Alfie Kohn points out in “Kids May Be Right After All: Homework Stinks,” the period of time that homework takes is indirectly creating a gap in certain areas; kids spending more time with their family, having less fulfilling lives, as well as, being kids.

“Mark, you won’t get anywhere without studying”, His mother use to tell him when he use to waist all his time playing rather that studying. Mark wasn’t such a good student because he wouldn’t spend any time studying, until one day his parents decided to send him to Cushing Academy, a boarding school in the USA, which they knew it was going to improve his study habits and help him being more responsible. But what really amazed his parents was this period of time used to study called “Study Hall”.

When a student goes to school for seven hours a day, and then goes home to three hours of homework, they do not get to be a kid. It is suggested that student adopt an eight-eight-eight schedule. This schedule being eight
