Scenario 2
I was walking in the hallway while classes were changing. I happened to glance to my left and two students who were a couple feet away were all over each other. I have zero experience on how to handle this type of situation and I didn't want to embarrass myself in front of students, so I chose to ignore the situation. Other students were around these students and the moment was awkward. The students did notice my presence, however they didn't know who I was; just that I had noticed them and probably looked as if I was irked.

Well this is an odd situation, but for me I would allow the contact as long as it doesn’t get to physical, and by that I mean groping. You kind of have to expect that high schoolers will be in some sort of relationship. If it goes to fare in the hallways just politely ask them to get a room. Or ask them to leave it at home or out of the hallways. There is nothing wrong with asking them to keep it behind closed doors.
Acting in this situation all depends on your personaliyt and how you would feel comfortable addressing it. If its making other students comfortable, then you should probaby say something. I would respond to this in somewhat of a humerous way and tell teh students "all right all right break it up" and tell them to move along to their next class.
In this situation I would tell them to break it up and give them one warning. I would warn them that if it happened again both parents would be called in for a meeting.
Well in this situation I would make my pressence felt. I would introduce myself and tell them that their behavior is unexceptable. I say this because I was told by my mentor that I have the power to discipline students if need be because I have many of the qualities that students have. I was told that detention and behavioral problems was one of those powers. I think that you should confront students, but only if you have had a conversation with your mentor teacher and you know the policy with the school.
In this situation I would probably tell them to calm it down or get a room. This approach will let them know that it is unexceptable while putting alittle humor in it as well, that way the students don't think their in trouble. And as far as embarrasing the students I really don't think if their the ones being physical in the hallway with everyone around that they are worried about embarrasement.
