Case: Tattle Tailors
I am currently in my K-5 internship where I have students constantly approaching me to essentially "tattle" on their other classmates. Examples include "he tripped me", "she threw something at me", "Robert stole me pencil", among others. How do I decrease the amount of "tattling" in my classroom?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would have a class discussion about tattling. I would start by talking about some the issues and letting the students freely talk about what is happening. Then I would tell the students that from now on I wanted them to talk to the student first that has done something to them, and only if the problem was not fixed I would deal with the situation. |

Comments: I agree to the first part. But having a discussion every time someone tattled on someone would take forever. I observe a second grade class and the amount of tattling is vast. |

Comments: This would not benefit me as a teacher. K-5 students will not resolve anything by talking to each other about an issue. To them, they are both right and the issue will never be resolved, only add to the situation. |

Comments: I'm not sure how well this would work for the younger students. I like the idea of having a discussion but some students may not have the skills to talk it out with their peers. |

Comments: I love this! Let them know what is grounds for telling the teacher and what should be dealt with individually first. |
