How Can Teachers Discipline Kids?
I personally believe in detentions..not after school, but for the day, isolate her/him from their peers, and for what ever time necessary. The student then gets a zero for the class days missed..with no chance of make-up, thus their grade will be affected. Another way is to make them read a book and write a report or project and present it to the class, not going toward their grade.
In our school, swats were the easy way to deal with poor discipline. They never worried me because my rump is tough enough to handle it. Then the teachers resorted to torture.It still gives me nightmares!
I can still see that accordion, and the teacher knew the words to, "99 bottles of beer on the wall.
Well, they're certainly forbidden to discipline like in my days (in reality, I learned a lot from those 'licks').. It seems today a teacher can be suspended by just looking at a kid the wrong way so I would say, turn them in and allow the higher ups to determine the discipline (that's what I would do if I were a teacher).. After all, a teacher teaches, they should not also be discipline police.
One potent deterrent to returning to class ever again would be to listen to Cooper.
With a paddle, in front of the whole class. That will teach them a good lesson they will not want repeated. Such is a standard procedure at our church's Bible school.
Repent or perish, heathens! Reverend Cooper.
Drop that death rod you are holding....then we can talk about it cause it aint gon work that way.
Spanc me! ....Whaaaww! Spank me summore!"...
At one of the high schools where I taught, we had 40-minute after-school detentions. It was carried out usually the day after the infraction, so the parents would know about it and could plan rides for them. It was not often that we would need it, but if we ever did need a detention session on a Thursday afternoon, then it was my turn to oversee it.
Most teachers made the kids write from a dictionary or encyclopedia. Personally, I think that encourages kids to equate reference books with punishment -- not their best use. What I used to do was to have the students keep eye contact with me.No talking, no laughing, no gum-chewing, no texting, just nothing but staring at each other for 40 silent and tense minutes.
Afterwards, we would sing a song together about Obedience, and they would be dismissed.
If your child can’t sit still, his superpower might be “energy,” which you can direct him to use at the right time and place (for the fastest cleanup on record, maybe, or when he’s out in the yard). If she’s a cutup and disturbs other diners in the restaurant with her Hannah Montana medleys, praise her ability to make people laugh, but give her an outlet where her superpower will be appreciated — a musical-theater class, for instance, or an evening performance for you and your husband. If she breaks into song at the wrong time, you can say, “You’re not using your superpower correctly,” says Herring.
Next time you find yourself desperately trying to get your child to do something (like sit down for dinner), try saying “Come with me to the table so you can sit down,” instead of “Go sit down at the table,” suggests Joan Rice, a third-grade teacher in South Milwaukee, WI, and coauthor of What Kindergarten Teachers Know. “It almost immediately changes the tone from one of confrontation to one of cooperation,” she says. Plus, you can take him by the hand and move him where you want him.
Saying “Okay, today we’re going to clean out the garage” works better than “Well, I was thinking maybe today…” Stand up straight as you let them know what’s going to happen, says Maribeth Boelts, a former preschool teacher who now writes children’s books in Cedar Falls, IA. There will be no doubting who’s in charge.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
