  Case: obscenity
Sixth period, the last period of the day, has just started when Kim* walks into your classroom and slams her books onto her desk.
Kim is a student who is usually moody, but in general has not caused many problems (or disturbances in your classroom, although
you have heard of her being disrespectful to other teachers). You can't help but think that first she comes late and then interrupts your
review of yesterday's material with the slamming of the books. You continue your lesson, but hear heavy sighs coming from Kim. A few moments later, you clearly hear an obscenity. What is next?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would ask Kim if everything was okay, and if she needed to take a minute in the pod she could. After class I would pull her aside and speak to her about what happened.

Comments: By asking the student this question during the middle of the lesson will cause a disruption of the class and put the spotlight on the student. This may cause the student to act up more or get even more upset. I think it is best to take the student outside for a couple of minutes to make sure that they are ok, rater than cause a bigger scene.

Comments: I'm not sure this would really solve the issue. She would probably become more irritable.

Comments: I think that Kim is in need of some attention. If she is usually well behaved, then she is most likely acting out for a specific reason and as the teacher, you should probably ask her to step outside the classroom for a minute and ask her whats the matter.
