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!)
No matter what administration does-you are the teacher and you were in the classroom. If you feel that this behavior is not welcome in the classroom; write the student up! I have heard of teachers pressing charges on children-even in elementary school-for hitting them. Violence is never acceptable, and if the student is getting away with the behavior at school, there is nothing stopping them from doing the same actions on the street. |

| Comments: The only action that this solution will provide is negative. Administration may well have additional information pertaining to the incident or the child in question. You are correct, violence is never acceptable but in this case he did not "attack" the teacher but in fact was trying to leave the situation. I am not condoning his behavior in any way, I am just suggesting that there are other ways in dealing with the incident. |

| Comments: although i agree he should be written up the teacher should approach the administrator instead of going behind their back and writing one anyway. |
