Defiance. Have the principal call him in with you on your prep.

I taught in middle school for my first ten years in Las Vegas. I learned that I only had authority with students who acknowledged it. If you get into a power struggle with the ones who don't respect you or authority in general, you will often lose. And that was a hard lesson to learn, believe me! Otherwise, I followed the next step of parental contact. That usually gave me insight into the kid.

There is always tomorrow. Also, there is no telling why he walked out, such as having to pick up a younger sibling from middle school or elementary. If at all possible, perhaps you could have the discussion during a group work time period. I often have taken care of such talks when I gave out progress reports which were an update of the schoolwide midterm progress report (since it takes two weeks for them to be printed out). When it's part of your normal procedure, no one will feel singled out, if that was his issue.

Just wanted to share this with people who would understand. Had 4 IEP meetings last week. When the case manager asked one mother if she had any concerns she said her only concern was that her kindergarten son with autism loved me so much she was afraid of him being promoted and being out of my room. I told her not to worry, in our program I will have him for 2 more years. Boy that made me feel good.
