Ummm… well, my teaching (1968–1980) was long ago and things have changed. The school had rules, and if someone was breaking the rule, I would bring it to the student’s attention. How they reacted determined my course of action. If they were nice, I would be nice and vise versa! I always thought my scope of duties was anywhere on the school grounds, not just in the classroom. I was a coach/teacher and most coaches approach discipline differently than just a teacher. Coaches tend to be more proactive in this area.
