Case: Vandalism
Last week students made posters about their favorite things. The teacher hung all of the posters on the bulletin board directly outside the classroom. This morning when she walked in, 3 of the posters had been written on with foul language. How should the teacher address this situation?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Depending on the age group, I think there are different courses of action to take. I work as a paraprofessional with third graders and we recently just had a case of a child stealing all of the teacher's reward skittles. She simply had the students write whether they did or did not steal the skittles on a sticky note and hand it into the teacher. They would do this every morning until the child confessed, and until then they did not get recess or any special rewards until they did so. It worked very effectively and the student stepped forward on the first time. I would NOT make any false assumptions, but rather prompt the students to come forward on their own. Do not threaten or scare them off from coming forward, rather just let them know the whole class will be punished until they confess. |

Comments: I think this is a great solution. If everyone is being punished they will feel more pressure to come forward on their own as well as have their peers tell the teacher if they know who it is. |

Comments: I agree with this type of solution. Students should come forward with their crime and take accountability in order to learn the valuable lesson. If no students come forward then consequences could be given to all which may not seem fair but will get some students talking for sure. |

Comments: I think this is a good solution because it avoids accusing any single student and makes it more comfortable for the guilty student to come forward and confess. The guilty students also has an incentive to confess since the entire class is losing recess time as a result of their wrong doing. |
