Question 2
David Leech, one of your students, is constantly disrupting instruction in one of your classes. You've tried talking to him, giving him detention, and calling his parents. Nothing has worked, and you need help, feeling as though you're at your wits end. Of the following, who is the most appropriate person in the school to contact?
◦ The school principal, since he or she is ultimately responsible for the school's operation.
◦ One of the school assistant principals, since student discipline is likely to be one of his or her duties.
◦ Your grade-level chairperson or department head (such as the chair of the third grade in an elementary school or the head of the English department in a middle or high school).
◦ The school nurse, since a chronically disruptive student is likely to have a medical problem.
