Every time i try to tell him to stop talking and pay attention he stops for a few minutes and then he starts doing the same thing. It s very annoying because he does not only talk but teases his classmates too and they get distracted.
Please help!! I cant always take him out of the class because he 's really smart and I can't talk to his parents because they rarely come at the school and simply they dont bother!!!!! Also, every time I try to call they are never there!!
What can I do??

I KNOW your pain!!!! It would be good if you found out why he's noisy. For instance, could he be done before everyone else and he's bored? In that instance, you could give him something else to do provided that he's quiet about it, like maybe keeping a file of homework papers organized everyday so that when he's finished and it's done well, not rushed, and he's cooperative, he can get up and go over to it and get it done. Some kind of job like that. Or perhaps a special individual project that he is working on; something that he's interested in like dinosaurs or something.
If he just can't be quiet, you could separate his desk from the others and maybe move it closer to you so that you can keep an eye on him and have greater eye contact when you are teaching. You could have some sort of sticker reward system wherein if he is quiet and cooperative for so many days, he can pick out of the grab bag or do a special chore or get a ticket for a prize drawing. It could be as simple as letting him stay after school with you and another child or so to help you clean up and prepare for the next day. It's important to try to get him on your side because he'll try harder that way. It sounds like maybe he's just looking for some kind of attention since if his parents aren't involved in school, they may not bother any other time either. Good luck and if I can help with anything else, you can contact me!
I was just thinking that it would be a good idea if you documented everything you do to solve the problem. When you did it, why you did it, what you did, and how it worked. That way, once you go to the VP or whoever, you can show him or her what you've done. Also, when you finally meet with the parents, you can show them that you've tried many things.

By the way your question is written it seems as though the first thing you need to do is relax, take a deep breath and regain your thoughts on why you are a teacher. Ok, now, for your noisy lil' guy....give him something to do. Allow him to be a helper (not in a way where it would seem unfair to others). Do the "marking system"....everytime he interrupts or teases, put a check mark on the board next to his name. Count up the check marks and correlate it to a punishment that will affect him. If he like computer time, every check mark is a min. off computer time. Recess may not be a good choice to take away, since it appears he needs that time. One last thing, try to understand that all kids are different, this may be an area he is truly struggling in...not a way that he's trying to be honery. Be patient, calm and caring--it works wonders.

make up a points system.
If a student answers a question correctly he or she gets a point. If he or she disturbs the class or does something mean, he or she loses a point. The person with the highest number of points at the end of the month can get a prize. This makes kids want to study and be good to get a prize.

Ok, every time he's talking made him go to the front of the class to answer an exercise or to jot down some important explanation on the blackboard for the whole class to copy. Also change his seating arregements in fron of your desk or whereever you spend most time of your class.

I wonder if he has attention deficit disorder. Or maybe he's bi-polar (I read a long article in Time magazine about a high # of teen-agers who are misdiagnosed as ADD or ADHD when, in fact, they're bi-polar).
How about writing them a thoughtful & caring letter? If no response, can you require him to talk with a school counselor? Or ask him to consider it. He may know he has a problem but can't help himself. Ask him if its that or if he does it on purpose. If he says its a problem he can't help maybe he would be willing to see the counselor.

Give him something to do with his hands. Stress balls work great!
I have a son who has Aspbergers syndrome.. he makes a ton of mouth noises and disrupts class by talking. We've found that if we can keep his hands busy, his mouth quits moving as much!
Also, INCLUDE him as a helper! Call on him to help you with the lesson etc.
Good luck!

if you ignore him long enough he will stop. He is craving attention and will try to get in anyway he can. Try giving him positive attention by expressing how glad you are to see him in the morning and what a god pupil he is.

You hit on it when you said his parents rarely come to school. The boy is acting out his need for parental attention. He will keep on escalating in his disruptive behavior until his parents respond. Even attention for bad behavior is better than no attention at all.
You can try telling him quietly and calmly that he doesn't have to act up to get your attention. If that doesn't work, then you need to discuss it with the school counselor or whatever authority handles such things in your school.

If the kid is disruptive, it's unfair to the other children that are trying to learn to keep this kid in class. It's HIS responsibility to act appropriately and yours to keep discipline in your class. Remove him EVERY time and explain the first several trips to the V.P. why he's going. I suspect it will only take once or twice
