  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!)
Wow, this situation is a little heavy, I would talk to the principle, and show evidence of the student academic outcomes (providing different test, quizzes and any other assignments). I also show to the principal my phone with the phone calls, text messages, and explain about the many times the student waits after class to go over my policies. From there, I will see what the principle responds and if continues, I will suggest to do a parent conference.
