Around 10 in the morning the children of Mrs. Katlyn were on their way to Spanish class; when suddenly I heard someone crying and screaming from outside Mrs. Elena’s class.

Instead, of punishment I would simple talk to them about the situation and most of all let the upset child begin the discussion and explain: ‘how she/he feels about the situation. I strongly believe that all we need in class or anywhere in particular is simple to be hear by someone.
