  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 would try to ignore the behavior and call on other students.

Comments: Ignoring this behavior can make matters worse and cause resentment between you and the student. That is never a good thing. I feel like positive reinforcement is better. You are more proactive but towards the behavior that they show well.
