6	Classroom Issues	A student in Carolyn’s class is refusing to socialize with other students, preferring to sit alone during arts and crafts and playtime. She has spoken to the child’s parents, but they’re not concerned. Jason has a student who is disruptive during story time, which often breaks the concentration of the rest of the students. He has tried a variety of guidance strategies, none of which have been effective. Corinne suggests offering the student an option of a different activity, such as coloring or doing a puzzle.
