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!)
Well the question asks, "What is next?" so without trying to discuss the preventative measures, I would say that it seems that Keith, who generally is well-behaved, is the first to put his hands on the other student. Chris could be the victim of bullying and is causing problems because the situation has not been addressed or dealt with but this is speculation and must be checked out and evaluated. I would write a referral for both of the boys and would have a sit down with them and an administrator individually to get behind the root of the problem. Most problems do not start with a punch, most problems have been building up to it over a longer period of time. |

| Comments: Although the question asked, "What's Next?", I do think it is appropriate to know for the future how to take preventative action. I think everything that was mentioned could be dealt with prior to a fight ever occurring. You can usually sense tension in a classroom. I think this is the proper way to deal with the situation as it is, but this process may be implemented long before a fight breaks out...minus the referral. |

| Comments: I don't think it should be taken this far just yet. The teacher needs to try a solution first. |

| Comments: Sitting down with both of the boys is necessary but they do also have to face the consequences of their actions. |
