Or, she may decide she doesn't give a fig and keep it up. DS got in trouble frequently this past year; he quickly learned that if he started talking, wandering around the room, and being disruptive, the teacher would eventually send him to the principal's office. There, he would often get one-on-one attention from someone he respected a lot more. Yes, the other kids talked about him, but the drudgery of being in class far outweighed any negative social aspects of being "the bad kid."
