My old classroom at North Royalton was on the second floor. The windows opened on to the roof of the first floor. Prior to my employment, a physics student climbed out the window, on to the roof. The teacher, Miss Jen, tried to coax the student back in. She begged, promised, compromised and negotiated. The student screwed around on the roof until the period was almost over, then came in.
There are a few ways to handle a situation like this, but the main dysfunction is that the student thought climbing out the window was an action to consider.
