  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!)
I think positive reinforcement is the best way to handle this situation, and to ignore any smart remarks Chase makes. Since he isn't doing well on his evaluations, Mr. Smith should definitely keep having talks with this student in private, to address the issues. A parent-teacher conference may be in order as well.
