Reply #64: No I don't ever stop watching them

That is what they pay me to do. Yes it is possible to catch what they are doing. My kids are not preschoolers. They don't bop each other on the head with toys. As I said earlier, at the age level I teach, we deal more with threats (mainly perceived rather than actual) than with attacks.

I am a 50+ year old woman. I would never be able to pull a 200 pound kid off of another kid. So I keep my eyes on them and yes, I focus on prevention so I don't have to intervene. But to answer your question you keep throwing at me, in the rare likelihood I was faced with such a situation, I would call the cops and insist that the offending child be taken away in handcuffs. Sorry but that would be the best I can do since I am no Rambo.

I also suspect that the other kids would jump in to break up the altercation. They usually do break up fights and do it without getting hurt.

Oh and I never called myself perfect. You did that. Yet I sense you would recommend I quit teaching since I can't pull a 200 pound bully off of a victim. :crazy:

BTW, you never did work with kids once you had that training, did you? :)
