Case: Classroom Fighting
As an intern I witnessed two of my students get into a physical altercation. The other teacher in the room with me moved the other students aside and then pulled the two students into the hallway to discuss with them the matter privately while I watched the rest of the class. The two boys were separated for the remainder of the period and administration was called. I asked my teacher why and she didn't call and she said she handled it and there wasn't any need to get admin involved. What could have been done differently? Why didn't my teacher report the alteration to administration?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
The teacher probably knew things that we do not. So considering the context, maybe getting the admin involved would have only made things worse or not have been effective at all. Maybe the teacher did everything perfectly in the situation, we just don’t know it yet. This could be true. However, it is still the teacher’s responsibility to report any physical violence, regardless of circumstance, as it’s a school rule and not a classroom rule being broken. Additionally, it is important that when asked, the teacher should report their knowledge of the situation as well. |

Comments: You are correct, in that the teacher must have known or experienced something that influenced her decision-making. However, despite the possible benefit, it is required for these altercations to be reported. |

Comments: Having higher authority involved is definitely a great suggestion since students will realize that fighting will get them in trouble and they will learn discipline. |
