What would you do to fix the situation? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) When the students are not in the room I would look in desks to see if anyone did indeed steal the pencil case. If i find it in a students' desk I would then have a talk with that student about whose property the pencil case is. If it is not theirs why did they have it in their desk? After talking to that student and dealing with that situation I would have a class meeting to discuss the importance of personal belongings. You do not want to make any one student feel singled out or upset however, stealing is an issue that should be addressed at some point in the classroom. Stealing other student's property is a form of bullying and not in line with class rules. Allow student to act out and discuss different situations where they show respect for a classmate.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: I agree that you do not want to single any student out.

You want your students to come to you if they stole something but that is not always the case. Rated On: February 23, 2019 4:27 am Rated By: Meghan Fletcher
