During this past semester, I had a student who always wanted to "push my buttons." I do not know if it was because he didn't like me or because of his personality.

Either way, I addressed the issue. I took the student aside during class and talked to him about his actions. We discussed a few things, and mainly, his actions were due to his grade. He was not doing well in this class, and in my opinion, he wanted to voice this through his comments in class.

After discussing things he could do better, the student became less of a distractio, but. unfortunately ended up dropping the class. In my opinion, he evaluated his responsibilites and realized were he was lacking. If he would've given more effort, I believe the outcome would be different.

For this reason, I believe re-addressing responsibilites is key. It reminds students that they are here to better themselves. It is not a place socialize and cause disruptions.
