  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 speak to him after class and discuss his grades and the remarks he is making. Let him know that the other students need to have time to participate and learn in the classroom. If the remarks do not stop, I would speak with the parents and move on from there.
