Jason Has Been a Problem in Ms

Essay

Jason has been a problem in Ms. Johnson's second-grade class throughout the whole year. He always seems to be out of his seat and bothering other children. Ms. Johnson is especially frustrated because these misbehaviours are explicitly forbidden by the classroom rules that she established when school began. She finds herself saying over and over, "Jason, you know the rules; now sit down or you're going to be punished." Jason then sits down, but soon he is up and doing the same things again.
-Given that the classroom rules specifically forbid Jason's behaviours, suggest a management strategy that Ms. Johnson could use to deal with Jason effectively. What types of consequences, if any, should she apply and in what order?
