  Case: Fighting ESOL students
Two of my ESOL student from different countries start arguing about the civil unrest between their countries. They begin to push each other, just when principal walks in for observation. The principal breaks apart the students. What should I do at this point with my students?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would try to research the specific conflict between the countries that caused the fight and then, if appropriate, have a culture day in the classroom that incorporates those countries as well as others from students in the classroom. I would not single any student out ofcourse, but it would be a lesson on accepting all cultures and finding interesting things within each culture that we can learn. I think this might cause more peace and inclusion within the class.
