  Case: Student shout out
You are teaching a fairly simple concept to a class of eighth graders and a student yells out, "I don't get this stuff at all! You are a bad teacher! I want a new teacher! How should you react to this situation?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would briefly stop and let the student know they will be breaking up into groups after the lesson has been presented to work and learn with their peers. Once in groups, I would walk around answering questions and giving further support to that student. I would speak to the student privately after class about respect and let him know that I am willing to find other ways for him to learn, but shouting out comments was going to stop immediately.
