  Case: 20 minutes late, no exam for you
Brian is a student in your Monday class. He is furious that you won't let him take an exam because he showed up 20 minutes late. He throws down his textbooks, knocks over a desk, and yells at you, "This ain't over!" before storming out of the class. You report the incident to office. Through the grapevine, you hear that the student had been sent to the Counseling Center, but you don't know the results of the intervention. The next day, you are shocked to see Brian walk into class and sit down in the front row. He stares daggers at you the entire class. What do you do?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Responding to Brian's behavior is going to make the situation worse. It is the teachers responsibility to rise above the situation and not give in to Brian's attempts at re-starting the issue. Brian could have anger issues that he needs to deal with in counseling. It is important for the teacher to pretend that nothing has happened, but keep the situation in the back of their mind is vital.

Comments: That is a good way to keep from restarting the problem. I would also set aside sometime to talk to him privately to see why he was late and if he had a good reason, maybe giving him a chance to take the test.

Comments: I completely disagree with this solution. If the student has shown violent behaviors and is showing angry emotions toward you, it should not be ignored.
