Students Solving Disputes From Zoe Greenberg, a second grade teacher at Clark Mills School in Manalapan, New Jersey: "When I have two quarreling children who come to me, each telling me their side of the story, the first thing I ask them to do is to sit together somewhare away from the other children so they can hae privacy. Next, I tell them to talk between themselves about what happened. Many times, through this dicussion, they will conclude that it was just a misunderstanding, and they will come back to me and say they have resoved it by themselves. If this is not the case, then when they come to me, I know I will hear what is probably the 'truth' about what happened, and I am amble to handle it from there. This teaches the students the importance of communication, and that many times they are able to resolve their own problems without my interference."
