  Case: Sarcasm in the class
When asking a question there is a student that loves to give smart remarks. I try to ignore them but is there a better way to handle this when it happens again?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Since this seems like a daily issue, I would try to observe what questions the student seems to have smart remarks to. If they are basic, non-academic questions it would make sense for the student to put in their two-cents. If the problem occurs for academic questions, not that is not appropriate. It will not only show that you can control your classroom and is also disrespectful to you and the class. I would try to sit down with the student and figure out why they are saying these remarks in the classroom.
