  Case: ESE Student Romantic Relationships
I have observed a high school ESE classroom in which multiple girls claim to be with the same boy. All of the girls surround this boy and will sometimes fight with each other over this one boy. These romantic relationships and conflicts are keeping them off task and distracting other students during group/independent work. How can the teacher address this issue?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would maintain a strict no-dating policy in the classroom. While these students may date outside of the classroom, explain to them that there is no dating in the classroom and you are not tolerant of any behaviors or acknowledgements. Change the groups of students so they are not often paired together, and monitor them closely. Discipline as necessary.

Comments: I would use this "No dating policy in the classroom" policy. This way students remain focused on academics, rather than their boyfriend or girlfriend.

Comments: Having clear expectations is best for these kinds of situations and it is up to the teacher to monitor these situations as closely as they can. I think this solution is best and appropriate for that.
