Dear student,

I am writing to you to discuss your disrespectful behavior in the classroom. I know you are

capable of succeeding in my class, and being respectful to I (as your teacher) and your

classmates. You are a very intelligent student and I know you have a bright future ahead of you,

but in order to pass my class, you need to start behaving. You know better than to talk when I or

another classmate is talking, not keeping hands, feet, and other objects to yourself, and not

follow directions. I believe that all the class needs to work on these three things, and we will

have a better half of the year. I am looking forward to spending the rest of the year with you. You

are a joy to have in class. Thank you.

Dear Counselor,

I am writing to you about a student who is being very disrespectful in my classroom. He never

uses manners, always disrupts the class during a lesson, and can never follow the directions.

He is starting to become a huge distraction in my class, and I fear that his classmates will begin

to follow his behavior if it continues. I have tried positive and negative reinforcements and that

still won't stop his behavior. He is bright and has the potential to have success. He just needs to

stop his disrespectful behavior. If you have any resolutions to this problem, please let me know.

Thank you.

Dear Students Parents,

I am writing to you to discuss about your child. He is very intelligent and has a very bright future

ahead of him. I have enjoyed having him in class this year. However, he has been acting up in

class and being very disrespectful to not only me, but his classmates as well. This has been

going on for a couple of weeks now and it's starting to progress worse and worse. I have talked

to him multiple times after school about his behavior problem, but he does not seem to care.
 Your son has the potential to excel in the class. Less behavior problems in my class will give

him and my class more time to really focus on the lessons. Please feel free to give any

feedback to me, I would love to hear back from you. I look forward to a great rest of the school

year with your son. Thank you.
