I am the counselor in one of school in Indonesia.

I come with the rules that I didn't like because the category of the rule is unclear but I need to follow up.Discipline Log that we have is the note of students' failure to follow the rules. The things that I am thinking is it is like just negative reinforcement without positive one. Can you imagine as a students sometimes got 10 strikes just because he or she make a noisy in the class? In the rules, every student who has got 10 minor strikes he/she will get detention for several hours after school, so it means she/he can't go home together with his friends. One of the rules said that if he/she do bullying,she/he will get major strikes (The value is as same as 10 minor strikes), bullying has many kinds, just yelled at somebody, we can call it's a bullying. We know that as a child sometime they just played and call his/her friends, so can you imagine how many students will get detention in one day if we consistently do the policy? It doesn't mean I am not agree with the consequences of breaking the rules, but the things that make me disagree is do all the teachers understand the procedure to give the students minor strikes? Why we keep staying their minors for a whole school year, it means that the students got the title in their discipline log as the trouble maker in the class, especially the one who got the most strikes.... it's not balance with the positive reinforcement, however may be this child has good behavior but the teacher doesn't put as a reward. so what do you think for this case? would you like to share to me teachers??

Schools are preparing for summer breaks and teachers are lamenting that students have become more active, less attentive, and more difficult to motivate. Teachers.Net asked educators to respond to the question, “Do teachers contribute to students’ end of year syndrome?”

This is a site I shared with the third grade forum. It has some very nice, simple games for elementary children to play that also reinforce their learning. My kids LOVE the flash card races and math snowball fight when I put those links on the Smartboard.
Might anyone have any used Forde Ferrier 5th Grade STAAR books they would be interested in selling?
any ideas on how to run a safety patrol successfully?
I'm heading into my third year of balanced literacy and I still feel that I have room for much improvement. Every "specialist" I talk to seems to have just a little different slant on how it is run...
Can anyone recommend any texts on the subject. I do have Fontas and Pinnell.
Thanks

We have this same discussion in the States - how to come up with a working balance of negative reinforcement and positive reinforcement.
The question is - does your discipline system work? The point of discipline to me is that children will demonstrate better - and better - behavior. If that doe...See More
