It seems like another ordinary afternoon at Claymore Elementary School, but things will soon turn out to be not so ordinary. It all started in Social Studies class... Mr. Sherman: Listen up, class! We will be starting a new lesson on social issues today. Take out your notebook and pencil. (Kevin raises his hand.) Mr. Sherman: Yes, Kevin? Kevin: Mr. Sherman, do you know Swag-Master14? Mr. Sherman: Kevin, your question is completely
I’ll take you down! Simon: Listen, Kevin. I don’t want to fight! I don’t want to cause any trouble. Kevin: Too bad! (When they get out into the hallway, Kevin pushes Simon, and Simon falls. Simon gets up, and by now both boys are in fighting stance. Simon starts to dance around Kevin.) Kevin: What are you doing? Simon: Fighting you! Kevin: That’s not fighting! That dancing! Simon: Yes, it’s called dance-fighting! Kevin: Stop being a coward and fight me like a man. Simon: I like cows. Kevin: What are you talking about, you weirdo! Are you serious? Come on, let’s go! (Mr. Sherman hears all the commotion in the hallway, but he does not try stop the fight. Instead, he discreetly hands Simon a broom. Kevin and Simon get into a fighting stance and Simon holds out the broom and starts to dance again.) Kevin: Now what are you doing? Simon: Fighting you with more dance moves! Kevin: Are you going to hit me with that broom? Simon: No! Kevin: Why can’t you? I actually want you to. Please hit me with it! Simon: This is actually more effective. Kevin: What?! Oh, please! Stop dancing and put that broom down so that we can fight for real! I want to kick
I’m not that crazy! (Kevin takes the glasses off Simon’s face and puts them on the floor.) Simon: Ok, fine by me! This way works too!
Let’s dance fight again! I can do this all day! Kevin: This is so frustrating! I can’t take this anymore! Simon: Teehee!! Mr. Sherman: Ok, boys, just end the fight already! I have a yoga class at 4. I don’t want to stay here all day long! Kevin: Stop stalling and fight me like a man! Simon: I am not a man. I’m still a boy. Kevin: Why is this happening to me?! Simon: You were the one who wanted to fight me. Kevin: Now I’m really going to kick your butt! Try to stop me! (As Kevin runs towards Simon, Simon slowly goes down and pretends to faint.) Kevin: I’m done! I can’t do this anymore! I’ll deal with you another time, Swag-Master15! (Kevin picks up his book bag and walks away.) Mr. Sherman: Ok, people, nothing else to see here! I’m off to my yoga class now. (After Kevin and Mr. Sherman leave, Simon opens his eyes and winks at his classmates.)

Simon: And that, guys, is how you avoid a fight!

Everybody: The moral of the story is that there are many ways to solve a problem without
