Education QUESTION #6886
Question 1
A teacher notices a student sighing repeatedly and looking tense but has not yet acted disruptively. According to the stages of frustration and teacher response framework, what is the MOST appropriate teacher intervention at this stage?
  • Immediately remove the student from the class to prevent escalation
  • Reprimand the student publicly to deter further non-compliance
  • Use active listening and non-judgmental conversation to de-escalate✔️
  • Issue a written warning to be sent home to parents
Correct Answer Explanation
At the 'anxiety' stage — the earliest stage of frustration — the student shows nonverbal cues (sighing, tension) but no overt disruption. The correct teacher response at this stage is active listening and non-judgmental talk, which can often prevent the situation from escalating through subsequent stages (stress, defensiveness, aggression).
