Tumblr has proven to be resourceful as always. I like to resort to tumblr when I'm out of ideas for blogging. When in a big class of students it is difficult to talk to a student who is being disruptive without drawing the attention of other students especially when the student who is acting out just wants the attention in the first place. In addition, teachers can't very well ask the student to go out of the room and talk for multiple reasons; the main one is that a teacher should never be alone with a student and second of all, a class shouldn't be left unattended.
One solution to this problem is quite simple really. Have the student come up to your desk and have the conversation on a word document so that the rest of the class cannot eavesdrop into the conversation allowing the student privacy. In addition it saves the teacher from both dangers of leaving the classroom with an added bonus! Typing the conversation in a word document allows for the teacher to date and save the conversation in case an occasion calls for the teacher to have "evidence" of what went on in conversation between the student and teacher. I love this idea because documenting situations whens students save the teacher from being sued or taken to court and they can be used in parent teacher conferences.
