[nobe-l] Student's behavior

[adrijana prokopenko]

Thanks, I actually tried it many times and he doesn't say why he does
it. Also try putting some cloth or materials over the desk that would
prevent the noise, but he would spend as much time pulling them out. I
also talked to the school psychologist and she thinks that he is just
bored and disruptive.
