- Deal with them quietly if they misbehave. Give them comments on homework or talk to them individually when they do good work that deserves a compliment.
- Have them do something to fix it. Photocopy—or neatly handwrite pages—to replace the ruined ones and place them in the books.
- Allow the class special group activities after a set period of good behavior.
- Some students may not contribute to the group or may purposely hinder the group from meeting their goal.
- Give additional consequences for repeated behavior. Ask her why she is acting out and how I can help her do better. If it still continues, call her parents.
- The student who threw the rock will be given consequences (visit to the principal’s office?). If he does not give the names of those who dared him, address the whole class and take away class privileges if they don’t step up.

Group peer pressure is a powerful thing. This would be a good time to use it (rock incident). Having the student pay for a replacement book or do time after school would also be appropriate. Knowing when to call the parents is a sticky thing. Your school counselor and principal should be brought into the conversation first. There also may be a school policy in place that dictates process. If not, start on a conversation to get one!
