Case: Your teacher is not a punching bag
While working one day, I had a student that was fine one second and then told me that he did not want to be there. The student is a 3rd grader and I did not feel comfortable letting the student just leave the classroom. I stood in front of the classroom door and did not allow the student to leave the classroom. Once I did this, he started punching me, pushing me, elbowing me, and trying to get me away from the doorway. This obciously didnt work. While the student was doing this I called for administration and they came and took the student out of the classroom. I later found out that there was nothing done to the student for hitting me and such. Is there anything that can be done? I want to make sure this student understands that he can't do this and that it is not appropriate behavior. If administration didn't write him up, can I still?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Firstly--does the student have any pre-existing conditions, disabilities, or known behaviors that would explain the way that he acted out. This is not typical behavior for a third grade student, and knowing a student's background information really changed the way this situation looks.
As far as hitting you, actions should have been taken. I believe any physical violence against another person should result in automatic referral and OSS. The fact that this did not happen leads one to believe that there may be a missing piece of information that can help explain the situation.
I understand your feelings though, and suggest you take your issue to administration and explain again what happened and your feelings. They will likely be able to explain why action was/or was not taken on this situation. If no satisfactory answer can be given, you may wish to go further with your complaint.
As for the situation itself, it may be good to reflect on the situation to think of some steps that could have been taken between the "I don't want to be here" statement, and you blocking the door. Something may have happened with another student to trigger this behavior, and asking what happened may have acted as a better diffuser than blocking the door. |

| Comments: This solution points out the most important aspect of any situation; we must be informed and have all the facts pertaining to decisions that affect ourselves, our classrooms, and our students. If we do not, then misunderstandings, miscommunication, and negative situations occur. |

| Comments: Great tips, but as far as blocking the door, I agree with that. This student is in 3rd grade and does not need to leave the classroom to wonder around wherever he feels like going. The teacher is responsible for that child. She did the right thing. |
