Case: 20 minutes late, no exam for you Brian is a student in your Monday class. He is furious that you won't let him take an exam because he showed up 20 minutes late. He throws down his textbooks, knocks over a desk, and yells at you, "This ain't over!" before storming out of the class. You report the incident to office. Through the grapevine, you hear that the student had been sent to the Counseling Center, but you don't know the results of the intervention. The next day, you are shocked to see Brian walk into class and sit down in the front row. He stares daggers at you the entire class. What do you do? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I would not say anything to the student about the matter during instruction time, but would possibly pull the student aside after class and discuss his behavior with him in private. It is important to always remain calm and in control of the situation and to not push it into something further. You may follow up with the students counseling session to see if there was something else that the counselor was able to find out that may have triggered his behavior the day before (especially if the behavior was out of character). If the glaring continues you may need to discuss with the student that it is not appropriate, but if the student knows that it makes you feel uncomfortable he may just do it more. |
