I have 23 students and one bad apple. He will not listen to me or my aide. Unfortunately the tone has been set in our relationship with him. Admin said to ignore him unless he becomes bothersome with other students and hits them. Well we have been hit, slapped and kicked by him. He will stick his tongue out and can be so vindictive. His mother can't understand what is happening. She has no parent skills and says it is us.Any suggestions on how to get through my day without losing my cool and my job.

But, that isn't what they want to hear.
