Love and Logic

Teaching SSL, I see many different students in my classroom on any given day. And it seems like they all want to be sure to report to me (read this at tattle) on everything possible thing that another student has done. Love and Logic's advice to acknowledge the comments, but then ask the student how he or she can best solve the issue has been a lifesaver! I now use it often, and find that I end up having fewer students who feel the need to report to me all the minor issues of the day.
