  Case: Playground duty
At your school, teachers must rotate once every other week with playground duty, which involves being out on the playground during
lunch time and helping to monitor the activities of students on the playground. One day on your shift right before the bell is to
ring to signal the end of lunch recess, a student from your class comes up to and tells you that Jon ( another student from your class)
is standing over in the corner and has been throwing rocks, at both the building and in the general direction of other students. As you
walk over to where Jon is you, you see that he now has a big rock his hand. You first ask Jon to put down the rock and he refuses to comply – stating "you can't make me." What is next?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would warn Jon of the consequences if he does not put the rock down. I would remind him that it is not nice to throw rocks towards people and this behavior is not acceptable. I would take further action by making Jon go to the principals office or calling his parents.
