Where should you address a problem student?

  1. In front of the class

  2. In private

  3. Via email

  4. Through a third party

The correct answer is: In private

It is important to address problems with students in a private setting to respect their privacy and avoid possibly embarrassing them in front of their peers. Addressing the issue through a third party may also not be effective as the message may get distorted or lost in communication. Email communication may also not be the most appropriate way to address a problem student as it lacks the immediacy and personal connection needed to effectively resolve the issue. Therefore, option B, addressing the problem in a private setting, is the most appropriate and effective way to handle problematic behaviors from students.
