Answer to Question 1

There are numerous possible answers to this question. Strategies should relate to:
 Minimizing the likelihood that Tina's behavior will attract further attention from her classmates.
 Giving Tina a chance to settle down.
 Providing an opportunity for a private, one-on-one discussion between Tina and Ms. Roche.
 Addressing the inappropriateness of Tina's derogatory remarks about her teacher.
 Brainstorming possible alternative activities for Tina now that she has not made the cheerleading squad.

Answer to Question 2

There is no easy answer to this question. Issues to consider include these:
Advantages:
 The disruptive influence is removed from the classroom.
 Sending Tina to the counseling office may give her a chance to settle down and/or to talk with the school counselor about what she believes to be an unfair situation.
Disadvantages:
 By missing the geometry lesson, Tina may fall further behind in her studies, thereby possibly increasing her sense of frustration.
 As Tina's teacher, Ms. Roche should address the problem more assertively. By sending Tina to the counseling office, Ms. Roche is, in essence, saying that the misbehaving student is someone else's problem rather than hers.
 First- and second-year teachers that continually send students to the office are often not rehired the following year. Such a pattern demonstrates to school administrators that the teachers in question are not capable of managing their classrooms.
