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!) You need to let Evan know that his aggressive behavior will not be tolerated. He earned the grade he received and if he wants to be angry, he can be angry at himself for not preparing well for the assignment.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) No The suggested solution is relevant to the case No The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement No The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue No The suggested solution is original No Comments: I don't think this is the best way to go about an angry student. I think that asking Evan to calm down is a good idea, and asking him to talk to you in the hall for a second is the best idea because the other students should not have to deal with this. It could make them uncomfortable and scared and Evan needs to be told that it is not appropriate to act like that at any time no matter what the circumstance is.
