ABSTRACT

Roger is described by his form teacher as:

a likeable boy but a major behaviour problem. He has been frequently absent from school over the past two years and when he is at school rarely turns up for lessons on time. He displays little interest in his school work and is steadily falling further and further behind his peers in all of the core subjects. He is disruptive in class and frequently talks inappropriately and out of turn. When reprimanded, he can become verbally abusive and has walked out of class on more than one occasion.
