EXAMPLEBob sat down at his usual seat at lunch. He
was about to take a bite of his sandwich, when the new girl, Grace, took the sandwich and ate it. When she finished the sandwich, she dumped Bob out of his chair and sat down. “What was that for, that was my seat and now I don’t have a lunch,” said Bob. “You’re a loser, that’s why,” answered Grace. “Well I’m going to go tell a teacher, because I want food,” said Bob.
When Bob told Mr. Gary what had happened at lunch, Mr. Gary made Grace buy Bob a new lunch and he told her if it ever happened again, with anybody, then she would get suspended, or even expelled.
