Most science teachers have been here before. Some students are more aggressive than others. Most, fortunately, will let the conversation drop (though moodily) once they are told that we cannot have those sorts of conversations in class.
But sometimes it’s tempting to get involved in such conversations.

Greg Laden gives us some very good common sense and guidelines to follow when confronting such situations in class. This is a very good read, especially this time of the year when we teachers are all returning to work.
