  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!)
I suggest having them sit down with a mediator to try a work out the problems. I personally also would inform the students that inside the classroom, their bickering will not be tolerated because the classroom is a learning environment. They have a choice to sort it out with one another to solve the problem, they can just stop talking to one another and they can stay away from one another or they can face the consequences and lose privelages because of their bickering and constant disruption of the class because it is unfair to the other students. They can consider that as their warning and the next time it will be a refferral for continuous disrupption of the class. I would also inform parents of those options as well.
