  Case: Recess and tattling
I cannot tell you how often students will come back from recess with issues and tattling on each other. I am not down there for the incident and the teacher that is does not see what is going on or the students do not address it when they are down there. I am flattered that our classroom and I am a safe place and person for them but I have a lot of difficulty getting to the bottom of things and I feel like I waste a lot of class time trying to deal with it.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would talk to the teacher who is watching the students to look out for issues happening. Let them know there has been a rise in students having problems with each other. If you notice the issue yourself, I would pull the students aside and let them talk it out in a kind manner. You could also create a box and let students fill out a very small form of "What happened", "Did you talk to the student?", and "Was the problem solved?". That way you can sort out the ones that weren't solved yet and talk to those students.
