Behavior problems negatively affect teachers and students. Distracting and inappropriate behaviors are particularly problematic because they interfere with teacher instruction and the learning of all students within the classroom, not just that of the misbehaving student. However, the student displaying inappropriate behaviors experiences additional problems, which may include lost academic time, difficulty developing and maintaining friendships, complications with social situations, and high truancy and dropout rates.
