Discussion:

talk with the student when you have the opportunity. Call them by name. Ask the student how they are doing. Even call the student Mr. or Ms. and their first name. Respect to the students goes further than, negative communication. Never turn your back on the student or walk away whenthey are speaking. Face-to-face communication is the best way to get their attention and obtain their respect for you.
