Recently school teachers fi nd new types of hard handling students. They do not always do illegal behavior but they make some troubles. However it is diffi cult for teachers to manage them. The purpose of this research is to identify what kinds of strategies teachers use to build good conduct for hard handling students. Sixty four elementary school teachers and fi fty nine middle school teachers were participated in this research. They answered questionnaires with high quality text data about copying styles against these students. We analyzed them by text data mining method with word miner in four levels of teacherscareer and in the diff erences of elementary schools and junior schools.

In elementary school teachers ask their principle to help them; on the other hand in middle school teachers asked other teachers to help them.
