  Case: Angry student
While passing out grades on a recent assignment, Evan approaches you, obviously angry about the grade he received. He feels that the grade was unfair and biased. While telling you this, his voice raises and he repeatedly hits his fist against the table between you. The rest of the class is visibly concerned. What should you do to manage this behavior?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would ask that Evan calms down and goes back to his seat. If the student further disobeys or the situation escalates I would call in an additional administrator. This could also be a great moment to send a student to a designated "safe zone" or corner where they can calm down.

Comments: It is important to allow the student to take a second to cool down or the situation may escalate. I have witnessed teachers go back and forth with a student only causing more aggressive behavior and anger between eachother.
