Explanation

• As a teacher, it's essential to maintain a calm and professional demeanor, even in the face of rudeness.
• Punishing or arguing with the student can escalate the situation and damage the relationship.
• Expressing shock may come across as insincere or dramatic.

Instead, reminding the student of the classroom rules and expectations helps to:

• Refocus the student's behavior
• Reinforce positive classroom norms
• Encourage accountability and responsibility
• Maintain a positive and respectful learning environment.
