One day on your shift right before the bell is to ring to signal the end of lunch recess, a student from your class comes up to and tells you that Jon ( another student from your class) is standing over in the corner and has been throwing rocks, at both the building and in the general direction of other students. As you walk over to where Jon is you, you see that he now has a big rock his hand. You first ask Jon to put down the rock and he refuses to comply – stating "you can't make me." What is next? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) First, I would make sure all students are clear from the area of where Jon is at. Second, I would ask the student who told me about Jon throwing the rocks to let another teacher know where I was, so my class would have someone to watch over them. Third, I would approach Jon and ask him again to give the rock. If, he still did not wan to I would try to get closer to retrieve the rock. As I coax Jon to give the rock to me, I will discuss what the consequences are from his actions.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) No The suggested solution is relevant to the case No The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement No The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue No The suggested solution is original No Comments: I think this may be too complicated to do for the situation. It may be better to inform him of his consequences without making sure of the other things. At that point, he may just throw the rock.

As a teacher, you can get hurt by the student. He could throw it at you. You need to be careful around a student that can hurt you. Rated On: October 19, 2019 8:48 pm Rated By: Mary Claire Murphy
