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 would recommend changing the students' seats, communicating with the counselors, and parents with e-mails initially, and if necessary meeting with both sets of parents separately. It seems like the arguing has been going on for a while, thus I would also recommend documenting your observation of who's bothering who first, or if it's both students trying to bother each other after changing seats, they should avoid being near each other, and this is where you would see who's trying to start the arguing. I would suggest talking to both students and the parents to let the student know to be cordial and civil to each other. Sometimes students won't get along no matter what is tried and thus it is best to teach them to be cordial, respectful, and if unable to become friends, to maintain a distance. Students need to know that respect goes a long way, and who knows maybe after being away from each other for a while, they will miss each other and become great friends. Maybe they just need a break from each other.
