  Case: Students bring family fight to school
I have two families that are currently fighting about the death of one of their family members. One family is accusing the other family of shooting and killing their family member. I have one student from each family in my class and they are constantly getting into physical fights over it. I have involved administration and the counselor, but the problem is still happening. An option was given to the parents to separate the students, but neither family wants their student moved. What should I do next?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
The only thing that I could think of possibly doing is to strategically place the students away from each other in the classroom. Maybe also possibly speaking with other colleagues to see if they have a possible solution for the problem or if they are in other teacher's classes (i.e. specials/electives), seeing if this issue is also arriving in their classrooms. This is a very difficult and touchy situation though! I hope that you find a solution and would love to hear what the solution is!

Comments: I think separating the students in the classroom itself would be a good start since the parents do not want to remove them from the class.
