There will always be students who don’t operate by the rules that govern everyone else. There are many reasons students misbehave. Family problems, poor parenting, illness, hunger, and learning or emotional disabilities are common triggers for students with persistent behavior problems. Regardless of the etiology, the outcomes of illmanaged student behavior are costly to the achievement of the student and his or her classmates.
