How can I deal with children who are constantly arguing/fighting/being horrible to each other? At the moment it feels like I am constantly on edge waiting for the next argument to start in my class. I can't take my eyes off cerrain children as the minute I turn my back they are swear g at each other, saying something nasty, kicking etc. They will argue in the middle of lessons and just won't let things go. My lessons turn to s* because there's always an argument happening or someone moaning about someone else. Made even more stressful by the most argumentative child's parents complaining constantly that their child is being bullied even though said child seems to just argue with everyone over anything. PE is a nightmare as half them can't deal with losing so it just results in arguments. I share a TA with another class so don't always have an extra adult. SLT pretty useless although very good at making me feel like it's my fault :(.
Does anyone have any good strategies for dealing with the arguers? Its really affecting others learning as my teaching is interrupted constantly.
