Is it a good idea to send Tina to the office? Why or why not? What will be an ideal ...

Answer to #1

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.

Evidence includes the following:
Evidence for perspective-taking deficits:
 As she walks to the bleachers, she temporarily blocks the judges' view of Kara.
 She ridicules Kara's legs without any regard for how her comments might affect Kara.
 She calls her geometry teacher a jerk and a roach without considering how her teacher might respond, either now or in the future.
Evidence for perspective-taking ability:
 She realizes that the judges are not responding favorably to her performance.
 She sees several students in the bleachers apparently taking pleasure in her discomfort.

Answer to #5

Mr. Mercurio appears to be focusing on mastery goals. For instance:
 He says, In my class, the most important things are to do your best and to work at improving your skills as the year progresses..
 By pointing out that other students' work has imperfections, he implies that making mistakes is a normal part of acquiring skill in art.
 He says, You can get better only if you practice and then let me give you feedback.

Answer to #6

He shows little withitness at first. He is distracted by a note from the office, to the point where he doesn't hear the initial exchange between Zach and Connor.

Genius!!!!!!
