  Case: Middle School Relationships
I am currently in my 6-12 Internship. A common issue I have noticed is that many students start "dating", but then they quickly break up. This is starting to cause issues where certain students will not want to work together in their groups due to negative feelings towards each other because of a break up. I have tried changing the groups, but then another relationship arises that causes issues. I am not sure how to have the students work collaboratively without the drama. Any advice would be appreciated.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
In the state of Florida the county has been pushing ‘Restorative Circles’ to resolve conflicts in the classroom. This is where each student gets a turn to talk about something positive in their day and what has been going on. You could also have a meeting with all participating parties. Do your best to hold either a class discussion one day or meetings. If none of that works come up with a plan with the CT and University Supervisor or talk with veteran teachers.

Comments: It is always a good idea to pick the brain of a veteran teacher. It does not have to be a teacher in the same grade level either. Many veteran teachers are full of useful ideas that can be useful.
