Bart Simpson

• Bart does not excel in school, more often than not as a result of not paying attention.
• Bart engages in school when it results in his own benefit.  Bart likes to avoid school work, and enjoys distracting others along with being the center of attention.
• Skateboarding, playing with friends, and causing mischief are among the things Bart enjoys to do on his free time.
• If this student was in my class, I would form a positive teacher-student relationship to let him know I care about him.  I would involve Bart's mother as insurance for when Bart is misbehaving.  Bart is a funny character, so I would not discourage his humor.  However, I would establish a fine line between when to and to not use his humor in the classroom.  Bart is a student who craves attention, so I would provide a healthy outlet for him to receive this attention.  I would respect Bart, but hold high standards and ask for his respect to me in return. Bart does not seem like a bad kid, rather misunderstood by adults.
