Case: Throwing a punch
Throughout class you notice that Chris and Keith are glaring at each other and making some snide comments, when they are within
ear-shot of each other. As your class begins to exit the room, Chris and Keith end up next to each other. Keith shoves Chris, which
results in Chris turning around and throwing a punch. Chris has caused many previous problems in your class all year – particularly
with the other children. He usually responds fairly well to you, but has had previous displays of aggressive behavior. Keith has
previous not caused any problems for you and typically is a very well-behaved young boy, just with a little more energy than others. What is next?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
The next move is to talk to each student separately and write down each of their statements. Next, the teacher must follow the schools disciplinary plan and finally have the students talk amongst themselves and develop a plan to resolve the tension. |

Comments: I like this solution because zero tolerance doesn't necessarily help your students. However a punch was thrown and actions must now official be taken |

Comments: I disagree that the teacher should handle this by themselves. If violence is seen, an administrator should be involved. |
