She hadn t know what to do with him before, and she certainly didin t know what to do with him now, she had been thinking to herself, and decided to call his parents. She has worked for 25 years now, and he was the hardest case she had ever had in her whole career as a teacher. El Greco Joined on Wed, Mar 28 2007 New Member 02 Past Perfect, Tenses, Past Simple

It's "has" instead of "had" since I read from the texts that she's never had such a hard case till now, right? "had been thinking": I guess you mean she had been thinking for a long time.
