Jerry gets into many fights with other children at school. He is in fourth grade but has been suspended for fighting so often his grades this year are even worse than they were last year. In fact he will probably fail fourth grade. What can you tell us about Jerry? How did he wind up like this? What would you recommend be done with him?

Case Study: Matthew: Matthew is a fourteen-year-old seventh grader at Smith Middle School. Based on the Iowa Test of Basic Skills taken at the end of 6th grade, Matthew is reading independently at the middle of second grade. He also participates in a Read Naturally program four times a week for 25 minutes to increase reading fluency and comprehension. Last year he was at a 3.0 level and this year he is at a 3.2 level. He appears to be able to get information through listening but becomes easily overwhelmed by assignments that require him to work independently or to produce written output. He is in regular classes, but there is a special education teacher or aide in every mainstream class to assist students with disabilities. Although it is only September, the number of loud, aggressive outbursts has increased since last year, especially in the afternoon. Currently, Matthew is having outbursts and leaving the classrooms approximately 3-4 times per week. Teachers report that Matthew stands up, tells them "This is stupid!" or "I'm not doing this junk" and will leave the room. He walks away from teachers who confront him on his behavior. At first, other students seemed appalled, but now many of them appear to be entertained by Matthew's outbursts. In-school suspensions are ineffective in changing behavior, and staff avoids sending him home because of the violence and abuse from those who live in the home. Matthew is social, has friends, is athletic, is popular with the girls, and attends school regularly.
