The problem – I operate a three-strike rule in terms of behaviour management as I like to have consistency. One of the disadvantages of this is that on very rare occasions (sometimes because they’ve caught a glimpse of their friend who has also been sent out), a student will try to get themselves excluded from the classroom. This involves either deliberate, and very obvious, disruption or sometimes rudeness. Does anyone have any advice on what to do that does not involve sending them to isolation, asking them to stand outside or putting them in another classroom?
