  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!)
I would document everything and print copies of the email and have the cords recorded. I would then have a meeting with the students parents, administrators and the school SRO to talk about the students actions. Also to talk about steps that will or should be taken.
