Situations that prevent all the students in the class from learning anything<br /><br />If a student's behavior is preventing other students from being safe at school and being able to learn there, something needs to be done. On the other hand, the evidence is quite clear that discipline decisions are not being made fairly.<br /><br />How to fix both issues?NNE Momnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28765366.post-1939543315438452292017-10-02T16:59:45.535-07:002017-10-02T16:59:45.535-07:00I think that's the issue for teachers - okay, ...I think that's the issue for teachers - okay, what can we do to help these kids decide to follow the rules of the classroom.Melissa Westbrookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17179994245880629080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28765366.post-19669846812299400162017-10-02T13:50:28.835-07:002017-10-02T13:50:28.835-07:00My concerns on the need for discipline mirrors the...My concerns on the need for discipline mirrors the complaints from teachers in Highline: keeping all kids safe and having an environment that allows learning. No one can learn in a chaotic environment.<br /><br />I'm not so worried about kids who are tardy or skip classes. That's harms their own education and can be frustrating for the teacher, but doesn't keep other kids from learning.<br /><br />However, if kids act out violently in school, it creates an environment where no one can learn. When articles on discipline don't mention these issues, they're missing the most important real-life problems.<br /><br />Momof2<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
