could be all of the above
for attention
this could be a combination of many different things but most of the time it is seeking attention.
not raised right at home!!!!!!!!!!!!!
there is no main reason!!! i was a teacher...each student is different but usually it is a combination of all those things...
just wanting attention, the clown of the class
a little bit of all of the above
wow
all of the above
multiple reasons
no "main" reason.
it's probably a combination of all of the above. personally, i was frustrated all the time because the teacher would often have everyone work at the same pace as the dumbest kids in class. it was a lot of sitting around and waiting for the idiots to catch up.
bad teaching
na
could be all ofb the above
all the above. it depends on the student and the teacher.

it depends on the kid doesn't it?
n/a
either peers acting up thinking its funny and they do it for attention or they are too over stressed and taking it out in classroom setting
not applicable
it depends
n/a
no
pent up energy, unstimulating environment
possibly because they are extremely insecure and feel by acting out they are someone!
not getting enough exercise
teachers need to stop being so serious about every single thing.
not interested in the subject
either a or they don't understand it or are bored because it is to easy for them.
depends on the scenario and the student.
bored
lack of respect
the students are prisoners and you wonder why they're not happy...?
na
none
i am a teachers aide and i think it's a combination of many reasons
kid is smarter than the rest of them and gets bored with the work they already know
various
all of the above
none
all of the above
they're bored.
show off
boring,........and no discipline.
they are trying to be funny.
na
none
many factors come into play
because they are kids and have a lot of energy and it's unrealistic to stick them in a room and expect them to sit all day without expending some energy.
for attention.

they are bored.
they are bored and looking for excitement
na
n/a
trying to get attention
all
sdsa
all or any of the above or more
maybe the student is at fault
all the above
trying to show off get attention
just because they can
boredom
na
n/a
it could be a little of all the above
any number of things: adhd, kid wants attention, disrupts the class to keep from having to answer questions, etc....
more than one reason surely, depoends on the student.
many times students are bored and/or uninterested
seek attention
most of the time its so his peers see him acting out so he is thought to be cool .
attention
nothing
na
na
the way they express themselves because they are unable to express themselves in that manner at home.
behavior problems
,.hjj
na
teachers don't have respect from students; some don't deserve respect some kids don't know what respect even is
sometimes it's just due to wanting to be acknowledged; someone knows me, someone sees me; someone will react to me.
kids are just being kids
kids are naturally rebellious.
n/a
teenagers are social beings, they're more concerned with entertaining themselves and their friends than they are with learning the curriculum
none
n/a
bored
boredom
maybe the child has add, and has not been diagnosed properly
no
probably a multitude of reasons
some kids act out purely for attention not realizing what they are doing.
children that confused and dont get what they need at home are more likely to act out in school
the student is just pushing the envelope
all of the above
all of the above, and attention seeking
it is a combination of several factors, not just one.
they feel like it
trying to be funny or impress others
the student is not interested in the material being presented and also is unable to do the work
school being an inefficient learning method
it can be due to numerous things, not just one.
too complex to answer here
ya
the reasons are as varied as the students that act up. you can't give one specific reason for this kind of behavior.
children cannot be punished by parent or risk arrest for disciplining.
none
show off in front of friends
there's many reasons
na
bored
depends on the student and the teacher.
could be any of the above
teachers are not cognizant of their wrong methods because of extreme bias
?
bored
they hate school as i did and a lot of what they are studying they will not use i n their life.
na
unsure
maybe they are looking for attention
boredom
also could be a conflict with the teacher.
boredom
they are bored
all of the above
all the above
i believe it is a combination of many things...home life, teachers are powerless. there are no consequences so what does it matter if they misbehave??
none
just being kids
it is a combination of things, including but not limited to: home, peer pressure, lack of education at an earlier level and some kids are just plain silly and want to cause trouble.
all of the above
all those are dumb. students act out because they do not want to be at school or in class.
disinterest, peer pressure and no respect for the teacher or board of education.
they're just immature and haven't grasped what school means for them in the future, how it will impact them. and they don't realize how foolish they seem. and they're having fun doing it, making friends for being outrageous, feel tough, empowered, rebellious. it's worse nowadays of course.
na
attention--either positive or negative, it's still attention
the student is bored in school perhaps the work is not challenging enough or the teacher is boring
0
na
undecided
n/o
home issues and noncaring teachers.
i have no idea what the most common reason would be.
n/a
ggg
na
no idea
spare the rod spoil the child!
i think it depends on the kid. probably a lot of it is just to get attention from their peers in an effort to build self esteem.
home environment, or more so parental attitudes, is still a huge factor though
none
parents not teaching kids better.
i think it depends on the situation
lack of parent interest & lack of christian values taken out of school .
no
could be any of the above, or maybe they just like the attention.
reacting out of boredom or in need of attention / showing off in front of thier fellow classmates .....
sdgfdr
lack of resoect for elders
all of the above
the parents are both wodrking, there is only one parent in home.
all of the above
boredom
kids hate school. now why is that? why not address that issue?
no single reason
any of the above, and some people just have no desire to become educated, they think the world is just a place to get what you want and do very little work for it
just trying to get attention
no idea
all three reasons are being used at one time or another and it depends on the child itself as to which one is used and when it is used.
attention.
dont know
na
examples and consequences should be used to make surea child act. take away and not reward bad behavior.
all of the above to various degrees, but not being able to do the work > produces extreme levels of shame.
need attention
attention
all of the above
all of the above
teachers have no control over the students any more like they used to
because they can get away with it. teachers no longer are allowed to discipline brats. and parentsdon't discipline their children anymore due to fear of repercussions.
some have learning and behaviour problems.
the student is wanting to show off/get acceptance from his/her friends/classmates.
problaly he got bored with the material and need something to challengen him
class clown
bored
i think they get bored
no
health issues/ miss diagnoses of illness
show off
both points 1 and 2.
none
done with work become bored
as well as having add, adhd, and other problems. also with technological advances it has led students to turn more to their devices-ipads, iphones, smartphones, games, rather than do homework.
i think every student "acts up" for there own reasons. no two student or issues are the same.
wanting attention, to be seen by the other people in his / her class
kids are kids they all act up at one point or another
it feels good to make people laugh and be bad in front of you friends
boredom
i think a lot of students may actually be bored.
some kids act out when they're board.
lessons are boring - environment is uncomfortable eg having to sit still all day or too hot or cold - students dawning that the education system is really just a detention centre
i think it is too hard to pin a primary reason.... there are too many children that act up...
na
attention. it's all about self-esteem and needing attention.
the government has taken the teachers' right to control their classrooms. they also have taken the parenting away from parents. kids know this and misbehave because there are no consequences for their behavior.
nothing
students feel too many pressures that they are not equipt to handle.
!
i think there are a lot of different reasons. they are showing off , trying to be big , sometimes the way they are treated and talked to makes them feel insesure
he/she craves attention
students act out for all the reasons above and the reasons can change day to day, but lack of good food to start the day and a home environment that is pro school makes it very easy and acceptable for children to act out rather than they and their parent facing facts when it comes down to their need
boredom
na
actually it could be all of the answers but i do know that the first answer sure does happen!
partially home environment but also partially individual peronality. some people just like stirring up trouble.
brats who haven't been made aware of an arsekicking!!
combination, depends on student
no
it is what most kids do. they are ansty.
any and or all pf the above
to get attention
all of the above - depends on each child
they're stupid
none
bored to death! teachers don't make learning fun and since they have to teach to test, the material is awful too!
they are bored with either the subject or the teacher.
none
;
kids are just not taught respect any more.
undicided
boredom
they are also covering up the fact that they can't do the work either.
i think it has to do with a little bit of everything said above
any of the above
na
lots of reasons
a little of all of it
many reasons
it could be anything - kids act up that is what they do. sometimes it stems from something else but they are antsy.
the kids parent let then get by with thing and their up kept wasnet good at home that why the kids are useed gun in school
no
combination of things-attention, boredom, sensoqry issues, bad teacher, personal issues...
...
youth
there are lots of reasons: like some want attention, others need something that they are afraid to talk about, some have a problem that they need help with, some kids come from broken homes and they might just need an ear to talk too. just think of all the things kids have to decide for themselves.
the stuent is bored and is looking for something to do something more challening
conflict with other kid
there is no one main reason. each student is an individual. the problem could be different each time a child acts up.
all of the above
attention
because they think they can and their parents, the teacher and the school administration can't do anything.
all of the above
issues, but not necessarily related to upbringing. could have been a recess argument.
could be one of many issues
combination of issues.
n/a
depends on the situation. i had friends who actd out cuz they had problems at home. i also had teachers who wuldn't help me bcuz i culdn't understand. they wuld explain a couple times then i still didn't get it so they ignored me nd failed me. my math teacher ignored me talked 2 sum1 about vacation.
they just want too.
boredom
the students want attention
the authority has been taken away from teachers/parents/police. society is going to hell . there is no discipline, children do not have consequences to answer to , so they do what they want, when they want. todays children are a disgrace.
sometimes very bright students act out due to boredom
growing up in michigan, not only was i an outcast, but i was one of the few white kids in the school...worst experience of my entire life.
bored
all of the above
attention
may because the teacher doesn't really care
i used to be a teacher and it's a combination of several things but it always starts in the home. if they aren't disciplined at home and aren't taught how to properly show respect, they act out more in class. it could just be that the work is not challenging enough for the student or...
i think students act up because they don't get their own way and they are spoiled or badly treated at home
i taught my children to respect their elders and to be polite.
osjf
all of the answers are possible.
kids have not been told no, they think they are owed something, alot of them do not have respect and i'm sure treat their parents bad too
these days children and young people do not respect authority
parents don't teach their kids to behave.
attention
no pe in schools
teachers are not allowed to discipline the students, and the students know it
i feel students act up for 2 reasons they want attention or maybe something is going on in there life
trying to act cool in front of other students.
the first and second reasons are both equal reasons in my opinion.
poor behavior is directly related to the disappearance of the good, old-fashioned american ass whipping.
boredom
i feel that sometimes they are not being challenged in class
all of the above
n/a
bored
showing off
this is a very intricate question and would depend on a number of factors, one should never put or place any student or person in a particular package. all are unique and have unique answers.
most of the time the child is very smart and bored
want attention
many different things
could be for an infinite number of reasons
all of them could be factors in this !
combination of all the above...need their butt busted at home.
all of these are contributing factors in a childs classroom behavior
they're bored.
all of the above...
a combination of home life, the teacher, the classmates, the student's work ethnic/personality
bored
i think it could be both the home enviroment, at times and the classroom at others.

hated those kids in school---some were outright bullies too!
again, there are a number of things that must be done, but being supportive is imperative.
if it continues remove them permanently.
and reward good behavior, set up list of goals
........
meh
any type of strong punishment rarely works well & most of the time it creates a bitterness in the person being punished.
tbh
if i was a teacher and a student was disrupting my class, i would call their parents and tell them that the student wasn't allowed back into class until they get their act together. why waste my time and the other students' time (who actually want to learn)
kick them ouf
get to the root of the problem and treat it there
no
it all comes down to the up bringing
no
no
depends on the situation

i think best way is to treat them like an adult but knock part of the grade down each time it happens so that they learn not to do that in class. if they are being constantly disruptive to other students kick them out of the class and have them require to take a different class.

not everyone learns the same way, maybe that child is a hands on learner,,,oh well, too bad, that is not how we teach. all teachers need to connect with each and every student. there is a way and it would make the biggest impact to that odd child out. as a teacher it is easy to teach the perfect
none
all or any of the above.
teachers that can relate to the kids, be friendly with them- often have a better chance of avoiding kids acting up. it happens less often, and it can be easier for the teacher to reason with them. younger teachers are usually better at this.

just hit random buttons for 1 point survey. not worth my time to read.
some or all of the above
no
no
no
depends on the age
teachers need to acknowledge that school can be boring and see if they can find a way to gain student's co-operation - not see it so much as a them/me situation

be willing to stand up to disruptive parents as well
clear and consistent consequences are critical for all students, and staff and parents, but they also need to know that a mistake is not the end. making time to help them understand or learn a lesson needs to be available if the person was removed from the original learning situation due to behavior

and follow up.
no
create motivating and interesting lessons.
none
also, if it really is too much, i suggest parental and principal involvement.
i think most just want attention for whatever reason. i think if you act like they are not there, they will quit. this will also need help from the students in the class.
n/a
no
...
then if their was one more i would send them to another teachers class who teaches the same subject.
make these students feel like a useful part of the class. ask for special help from them or encourage to work on projects with other students.
try to get to know them to find out what is really wrong to cause the bad actions.
na
i would add to "give them strong clear consequences" by saying it's all about routines and procedures and attaching consequences to these routines and procedures the very first day, there is no reason to have disruptive behavior.
these days with both parents having to work and single parent homes children are being rasied by daycares or not at all in some cases. it is really hard for single parents that do not have family for backup or a job that they need to put food on the table that keeps them away.

depends on the situation and the child.
