  Case: Throwing a punch
Throughout class you notice that Chris and Keith are glaring at each other and making some snide comments, when they are within
ear-shot of each other. As your class begins to exit the room, Chris and Keith end up next to each other. Keith shoves Chris, which
results in Chris turning around and throwing a punch. Chris has caused many previous problems in your class all year – particularly
with the other children. He usually responds fairly well to you, but has had previous displays of aggressive behavior. Keith has
previous not caused any problems for you and typically is a very well-behaved young boy, just with a little more energy than others. What is next?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would first speak to both of the boys individually about the fighting. I would tell them that it is unacceptable behavior and I will hold them accountable and uphold the school rules. I would remind them of the school consequences and how that will affect them if they played sports or other curricular activities. Maybe through talking to the boys, I can find out why they are fighting. Finally, I would not permit the boys to exit together. If all else fails, I would involve other people: parents, resource officer and the principal.
