  Case: Students Arguing
Mrs. Reese has two students in her class that just can not get along. The situation has gotten so bad that their parents are now requesting conferences to try and handle the situation. Mrs. Reese is at a loss for what to do. The two students constantly pick at one another and cannot get along. What can Mrs. Reese do to solve the situation and bring peace back into her classroom?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Start with meeting individually with the two students to get both sides of the story. I would then try to set up a mediation with a counselor before getting the parents involved. I have found that this can escalate things because many parents immediately feel the need to defend or take the side of their child. If this does not resolve the issue, I would try a meeting with the parents, counselor, students, and possibly an administrator. As a last resort, I would see if there is a possibility of putting the students in different classes.

Comments: Great solution. I agree that the teacher should meet individually with the parents of both students in order to hear both sides. The use of the counselor is also a good idea, that way there is an unbiased party at the conference who can help if tensions and conflicts rise.

Comments: Great idea! It is important to meet individually at first and find out both sides of the story. Worst case I would get the principal involved or like you stated have them in different classes. Overall great solution.
