[quote=Anonymous]Here's my advice: Document everything but don't let him know you are doing that. Do whatever you can to de-escalate the situation. I agree with being calm, but you don't need to be *overly* nice. Treat the student respectfully, but mostly, just be calm. If the student won't do his work? Don't worry about it. If he talks through instruction? Ignore it if you can. Try to ignore anything you are able to ignore. If the student threatens you again, or God forbid, is physically aggressive with you, you'll have to decide what to do. My suggestion is to file a police report. Yes, I know this is an 12 year old. But your district is unlikely to do anything helpful. And you may have to decide whether or not to go on long term leave or quit. Do what's right for you and know your district doesn't care about you or any other school staff. That's the truth.[/quote]
