Case: Mr. Know it All
Chase is a student placed in Mr. Smith's advanced math course. He pretends to know it all and interrupts the teacher with answers and "smart" comments all the time. Mr. Smith has talked to Chase about his behavior, which calms him down for a while. Despite his "Mr. Know it all" attitude Chase doesn't well on his evaluations which makes him be upset at Mr. Smith and blame him for his grades.
What actions should Mr. Smith take in this case?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
First and foremost, I would offer ELP in the mornings before school and send a request home to Chase's parents asking if they could please have him attend to help him with his struggles in his advanced math course. More than likely, Chase would not be the only one needing additional help.
For the continual smart comments during my lecture, I would tell Chase, "This is not the time for comments, but if you would like to continue interrupting you can come see me after school and we can talk math for an additional hour". If it still continued, I would be very specific and tell Chase that the next time he interrupts, he will be getting a detention.
Of course, I would reward Chase for not interrupting with positive comments at the end of the class period as he improves so he realizes I recognize his effort. |

Comments: This is an excellent solution. Offering ELP for anyone to attend will let the student get the help he needs without feeling singled out. Addressing the interruptions directly as they happen and letting them know of consequences will make the student more aware of his actions when he does it. |

Comments: This is a wonderful solution, as the cause of this type of behavior is often caused by discomfort or self-consciousness that could be attributed to struggles with the materials provided. That said, tutoring before school hours may not be reasonable to ask of the instructor if he or she is unable to do so outside of their contract hours. |

Comments: These are very detailed suggested solutions that I think would definitely help the student. It would be interesting to see Chase show up for ELP but insisting it will help him might encourage him to go. It will also be a reminder that he needs assistance. Offering Chase opportunities to talk one-on-one with the teacher will help him greatly. |

Comments: Instead of threatening in front of the class, ask to speak to him after class. Calling students out and saying things that the class will most likely go "ooooo" at are not respectful of the student. Try to use positives and then privately talk about the negatives. |
