  Case: Swearing
It was during the last week of my practicum class and I had observed a student throwing a chair in the cafeteria as well as many other teachers that had seen this. I wasn't sure that if I should approach the student or let a teacher take care of it. I looked up and saw a teacher walking towards the student. Before the teacher got to the student, the lunch bell rang and he headed for the door and left the cafeteria. I then saw the teacher go after the student.

I started to walk back to my classroom and when I got to the top of the stairs, I saw the student and the teacher talking. The teacher told the student that he needed to go see the principal and that she would go with him. He was outraged and started to swear at the teacher. At this point I started to walk over to them because the teacher was a little lady. He then took off down the stairs before I made it to them. I asked her if she needed help and she said she was fine. I then watched them go to the principal''s office. In this situation, what do you do as a teacher if you were in the exact same situation?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
If I just saw one of my students through a chair and then they started cussing at me, I would simply do the same thing. Teachers can not show intimidation, just because she was smaller than the student it was important for her to be assertive. Yes he through a chair and that may have been scary but teachers are there to not only teach but to help control the students. Teaching studetns that certain behaviors will not be tollorated is important.
