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!) Clearly posting classroom rules and procedures is a good way to remind students that you expect them to come to class ready to learn and they do this by participating in classwork and only working and talking with their peers when it is asked of them for collaborative work. If the problem continues, I would speak to each individually. After that, a note would go home with parents.
