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!)
Document what's going on and inform the administrators so they are aware. I'd also talk with the student and parents to let them know the policy and the appropriate ways to go about dealing with their concerns/frustrations. |

Comments: In my opinion it would be best to document what is going on as evidence, inform administration first therefore if the parents hear about their child's behavior, become upset, and they meet with the principal the principal isn't caught off guard. Then the next step I would take is to talk to the parents to explain to them the circumstances. They can then contribute to determining how to discipline the student and it can go from there. |

Comments: This would ensure that if something were to happen, hopefully it would not escalate that far, you would have proof that the child has been harassing you. Hopefully the parents would be able to stop the behavior. |

Comments: This solution I think is the best. Making sure that you have documented everything that has been happening is the most important thing that you can do. After you have so many documentations, then talk with your administration and set up a parent-teacher conference with the student and administration present and have your documentation with you so that you can discuss the student's inappropriate behavior. |

Comments: This is a great solution because dealing with an aggressive student alone can get dangerous fast. So it is the best course of action to have the administration aware. Also, talking with the student directly about their behavior could make them understand that what they are doing is not a good way to go about it. |
