You have a student who is chronically disruptive. You finally decide that you have no choice but to remove the student from the classroom, and you tell him to step outside. The student refuses to leave and says that you can't make him go. Of the following, your best course of action is to:
 
  a. physically remove the student from your room and once out in the hall, direct him to the principal's or dean's office.
  b. remind the student that he has the choice to leave or go, and apply your consequence for failure to comply.
  c. use an assertive approach in dealing with the student. State your demand that the student leave evenly and repeatedly until the student complies.
  d. get help. Teachers need support in dealing with this level of defiance in students.
