Jim Matiya wrote- I need some guidance
I think this offers an opportunity to build a different type of relationship with him. From your email, I am gathering that he has a kind of 'better than" attitude. I would recommend taking him aside and letting him know that the scantron machine can only score the test if it is in pencil and ask him to mark over the answers. You could use that one on one time to ask him about his classroom behavior and see what he has to say. Perhaps you will find out some interesting information about him and why he has that attitude or ... perhaps not. In any case you will be demonstrating honorable, professional behavior. I wish you the best..

I need some guidance from the more experienced than I... Teaching is wonderful, you can learn new things everyday.... In all the years I have been teaching, which is like before dirt, I have never had this occur before. Yesterday, I had a boy (sorry, I am not being sexist), who filled out his scan-tron answer form with a pen. Guess what his score is? Yep, a zero. Sometimes he is not very nice, he has a rather "snotty" attitude when he comes to class. He likes to make comments under his breathe. So, oh mighty wise ones, what should I do? Do I hear a little snickering out there? Jim Matiya Image removed by sender.
