It is possible that both "want" to be friends but are concerned about their reputations (serious student vs. class clown). Encouraging open dialog by questioning allows both students to come up with their own answers, while still reminding them about rules.

Implementable Strategy -- the easiest strategy to implement is a change in seating arrangements. It is quick, easy to implement, causes a slight bit of "drama," but is a quick way to deal with the situation until we can sit down and talk more. Keeping the two away from each other is probably the easiest way to limit inappropriate behavior.

Classroom Teacher -- I would take a two-pronged approach to this issue; and try to turn it into a learning moment for not just Patrick and Zach, but the rest of the class. First, without singling anyone out, I would put the class into a large circle discussion group and ask each student to help remember classroom rules and the reasons for them. I would use questions to guide particular issues on respect, inappropriate behavior, talking out in class, etc. -- > all focused on the idea that school is important for everyone and stealing minutes that can never be recaptured hurts everyone (teaching moment about the philosophy of utilitarianism without addressing it or getting complex).

Second, the idea of separating Zach and Patrick until a one on one or dual intervention can happen would allow for reflection, especially if each were asked to write down their thoughts regarding the frustrations they were having. It is important, as well, to keep this writing positive and on task, and not like "homework," but as something reflective and expressive.
