Your response, however, isn't so typical. So many of the teachers I consult with rush to judgement--someone always has to be right and someone has to be wrong; victim and aggressor. I may be using this with teachers as an example of how to best respond in this very common situation--calmly, openly, without judgement for any of the participants, helping them to understand each other and what the other needs. The essence of good teaching. And you also are good at knowing when it's over and time to walk away and let the kids be. Over-processing is overdone.
