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 first assure that these students are separated and do not interact again until a solution can be found. I would review the classroom expectations and code of conduct not only with the students in the altercation, but with all of the students. Assure that students understand that consequences will be enforced if rules are broken, and that fighting with one another will not be tolerated.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: I have to agree here. While the disruption and fighting occurs over a sensitive topic - I feel that this is beyond the point. There are rules in place that prohibits fighting, and in breaking these rules, this makes the learning environment no longer safe. This should be addressed with the students, first and foremost.
