  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!)
Mr. Smith needs to give the student a leadership roles. Ask him to do something, like check agendas or collect homework at the beginning of class. This way he can feel important and get noticed in a non-intrusive way. A parent phone call should occur too.

Comments: This is a creative way to give chase an outlet for his energy, but also can be used as corrective action. If he continues to speak out of turn he could loose his privelages.
