What kinds of plans do you as teachers have for dealing with these tough situations? How about your deescalating plans? Do you have any methods you have used or seen? I'm just curious.

Depends on the situation and kid... sometimes you deal with the situation directly and immediately. You might wait and talk about it later. You might quietly get a dean if you know the kid will refuse to leave. Depends.
 
My sister in law teaches kidnergarten and recently had a kid who threw things and punched other kids uncontrollably. She said it was very stressful because students today have more rights to not be removed, than the others have to not be subjected to them. She had to call the principal every time as a matter of policy, instead of restrain the kid herself. They couldn't just send him off to special ed or whatever either, because he would just act violently there. The parents who worked all day refused to accept reality and attempt homeschool or hire a private tutor. Finally, they decided he had to learn in isolation in the teacher's lounge. They brought in a young substitute who needed more hours

By the middle school age, i have seen teachers just flat order someone to leave, and call the cops if they don't. By high school, the bullies learn to take the assaults to the halls and parking lot, where the school just washes their hands of it

Not much the school can do about that even if they knew there was a problem.

Good thinking having teenagers running around looking for homes to rob in the middle of the day.

That is no excuse.....and they will get caught, then they should get a taste of life behind bars. My wife taught 8th grade kids til she retired and had only one kid that she figured would go that bad and end up in jail. Time passes and sure enough, his name makes the papers and he goes to prison. If he had been prosecuted while still a teen and if the parents made accountable for their poor parenting, maybe he wouldn't have gone to prison later on....but the parents blamed the school, the teachers, other students, etc. and refused to deal with the kid properly.
You can't win them all....
