I wasn't sure that if I should approach the student or let a teacher take care of it. I looked up and saw a teacher walking towards the student. Before the teacher got to the student, the lunch bell rang and he headed for the door and left the cafeteria. I then saw the teacher go after the student. I started to walk back to my classroom and when I got to the top of the stairs, I saw the student and the teacher talking. The teacher told the student that he needed to go see the principal and that she would go with him. He was outraged and started to swear at the teacher. At this point I started to walk over to them because the teacher was a little lady. He then took off down the stairs before I made it to them. I asked her if she needed help and she said she was fine. I then watched them go to the principal''s office. In this situation, what do you do as a teacher if you were in the exact same situation? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) As a teacher in this situation it is definitely best to remain calm and attempt to calm the student down as well by removing them from the environment. If the students begins swearing and starts running away the teacher must call administration, run after the student, as well as make sure another teacher can watch their class. Swearing should never be tolerated, taking this student to the principal's office would definitely be necessary.
