Examples include "he tripped me", "she threw something at me", "Robert stole me pencil", among others. How do I decrease the amount of "tattling" in my classroom? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I would have a mini lesson on being a problem solver. I would talk to the students about trying to solve the problem themselves before coming to me. If Robert stole another student's pencil, the student should nicely ask for it back and say that they do not like when he takes their things. If Robert returns the pencil, the problem is solved! If not, then they should let the teacher know.
