  Case: Stalker student
A student receives an "F" on a test. He protests his grade and is adamant about your changing his grade or allowing him to re-take the exam. You stand firm on your position and tell him that there are no make-ups or extra credit. His tone becomes increasingly aggressive. He calls you, he emails you, and he waits for you after class. As a teacher, what is the best way to handle this situation?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
It depends how you feel. Are you threatened? If so i would immediately contact the schools administration and handle the situation. If you are not too worried i would pull him aside with an I.A. and have a discussion with him about his academics and how hes handling the situation.

Comments: I agree with this. If you feel threatened then it needs to be taken to administration. You should never feel threatened by a student.

Comments: Threatened or not this is an unacceptable behavior that needs to be acknowledged and approached by the teacher and fellow administrators. In the future, if this student was to follow similar or even more stalker like behaviors it can be a danger to them and who they are stalking.
