    I see different de-escalation strategies
    I think, I have used some of these strategies before just I didn't know that it is called 'de-escalation'
    I wonder, can school support and provide training resources that help teachers de-escalate aggressive student behavior?

    I think de-escalation is perfect method. I use it in my class with three moody kids constantly
