I reviewed the bathroom expectation with the students and explained that in the future a better choice would be removing yourself for the situation. In the future, I will need to support my teachers decision and help repair student teacher

I believe that decisions have to be made to best help all students learn and can vary depending on the situation. As an administrator, I will be in situation like this one where I will have to remove a student from the classroom so that others can learn. In learning from this situation, once the student is calm, I feel it is important to have the student complete a portion of the task that had been asked of him before letting them return to the classroom.
