The Kid that Smiles too much

Today I had the privilege of witnessing Artez at his worst. A child of the obnoxious variety. He seems to feed off anything that the psycho lady says in response to his defiance. She does not realize that she is fueling the fire by yelling at him after about every third curse and threatening him with empty promises. He is instigating the rest of the class, students who normally wouldn't be behaving so badly now a mess. The class has fallen apart. What do you expect when you assign students the arduous task of having to write hundreds of words from a word document for 45 minutes straight. How are they supposed to focus on this task for such an extended period of time and not create their own entertainment. I;m not sure I can sit still that long and write all of those notes without a lecture or explanation or some other sort of stimulation or just some time to stop and think. ___________________________________________________________________________________________After the lesson I asked the psycho lady why she didn't send Artez out of the room much earlier when she first threatened him with that punishment. Se said that he would have just taken a walk around the hallway and came back, as if it had no serious effect on his behavior. She saw the situation as hopeless and I can understand her feelings given that she did not have a negative consequence to stop him or positive encouragement to motivate him to behave. There is nothing stopping Artez from going wild and he is as aware of the fact as anyone. Psycho lady was so mad at Artez that she punished everyone with a quiz. The only trouble was that Artez didn't give a crap and sat there doing nothing while everyone else did the quiz. She then said that she would give a quiz for everyday that Artez didn't behave. Artez, the natural jerk that he is said, "that's a great idea, you should do that, it will help us study for the regents." Yeah, everyone will be punished with a quiz while Artez will sit there doing nothing and laughing at everyone including the teacher. If he can have the power to force the teacher to go wild, he wins the power game. Now the question for me is how am I going to deal with this basketcase?
