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 use the approach of self teaching. If he is so confident in his abilities, ask him to come to the board every time there is a question. If he cannot accurately show the answer on the board, then that will in it of itself settle him down and hopefully bring the "know it all attitude" down a tad. Show him the mistakes he made and allow for growth by writing out steps to getting the correct answer.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: i agree with this solution! this is a good alternative to punishment Rated On: February 25, 2019 4:33 am Rated By: eRuWaX                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: Great.

I think that putting a student infront of the classroom with false confidence is a recipe for disaster.
