    Regarding the student really?, he wont be able to do that at work or college he will be finished. I'm surprised a school doesnt try to work with him and his parents to get him to stop it.
    My friend used to be a teaching assistant and they got the parents up to school and all sorts when one of the girls kept playing with herself in the class.

    I agree, unless the child has special needs (and even then giving the impression that it is acceptable is unwise) you are doing them no favours allowing it to go unchecked.

    Well, what a disappointment. From the thread title I was expecting something a lot more scandalous!

    I read the title as

    It's probably a fairly unconscious habit so he's doing it without really thinking. Unfortunately this means he's unlikely to stop unless he's repeatedly told. It will take a month or so to break the habit and he'll need telling every time he does it.

    Simply saying once 'Stop fiddling with your willy' will stop that instance of it, but he'll forget and carry on. Be prepared to tell him over and over. And enlist the help of everyone else. Easier said than done.

    Or just put up with it and avert your eyes. Every family has at least one member (fnar fnar) who does something revolting.
