At first the teachers thought it was a fire drill and had no idea it was a bomb threat until we were evacuated to the high school across the street to sit in the football stands. What could I have done to help the students not to worry and not be so upset? What could have we done in the football stand to help pass the time until we got the all clear since we were in the stands for about two hours? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I think the most important thing is to always remain calm. Even if you feel panicked don't allow the students to see this because they will react in the same manner and more than likely worse. Get the students out of harms way, possibly telling them that it is fire drill to reduce their anxiety. Once their were safe, the time could have been passed by singing songs or playing a game such as a spelling bee.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) No The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue No The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: You should never lie to kids... This teaches poor moral principles and removes trust, an important factor in effective student-teacher relationships.

It would be best to explain what is going on, but let them know that they are going to be safe. Rated On: February 28, 2021 6:43 pm Rated By: Torii Podmokly
