  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!)
I would involve the parents and keep them in the loop on what is happening in the classroom and what you had done in your classroom to lessen the tension, such as moving them apart and keeping them apart. Give them clear directions on what is happening in the classroom and who is doing what, such as violating rules or the separation that you did. Go to your administration and state what is happening in the class and what you are doing to lessen the tension, and ask what the next steps would be, as you can’t continue with fighting in your class constantly. Ask administration for seperation and after receiving their approval tell the parents what will happen in the fighting continues in class so that they now the consequences

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 agree with this solution. If you have tried to eliminate the problem as the teacher, and have failed, it is time to address the administration in order to resolve the issue. Contacting the family is also necessary, as ultimately this has led to the disruption of other students' learning.

Comments: This solution seems to be highly effective. Not only does it inform the parents of any updates and behavioral problems with their children, it also involves reaching out to higher authority that may have better efficiency in handling a violent situation.
