He is furious that you won't let him take an exam because he showed up 20 minutes late. He throws down his textbooks, knocks over a desk, and yells at you, "This ain't over!" before storming out of the class. You report the incident to office. Through the grapevine, you hear that the student had been sent to the Counseling Center, but you don't know the results of the intervention. The next day, you are shocked to see Brian walk into class and sit down in the front row. He stares daggers at you the entire class. What do you do? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I would continue class as if nothing had happened. The worst thing you could do it bring more attention to the situation. After class was over I would speak with Brian privately to discuss how to handle situations that we do not agree with. Brian needs to understand that his behavior was unacceptable and it will not be tolerated.
