  • @MondoBeno As a teacher, I can see where you're coming from in your point that sometimes kids get in trouble for petty things and the teacher blows an infraction out of proportion, but I don't agree that a teacher - or anyone for that matter, should just "learn how to take" disrespectful responses. Maybe we have different definitions of talking back, but I tend to think that it's a form of disrespectful and disruptive language, and I don't think I should have to take that from anyone. Thoughts?

  • I like the "Restorative" aspects of these plans that were shown. Making up for the time taken away from students and/or teachers and repairing the damage is a way to make the infraction clear to students. See "Restorative Justice" for more on this topic.

    In more problematic settings, peer mediators can be trained to deal with the problems.

  • Parent conferences are great, but in many of our communities, the parents are ignorant and irresponsible.

    One great method is to put ping-pong tables and punching bags in the lunchroom. It's a good way to work off anger. As for things like talking back, the teacher needs to learn how to take it. Half the things that kids get in trouble for are simply annoying, not bad.

  • @STiCKYLiMES Pedagogy of the Opressed by Paulo Freire ... it's a fabulous book.

  • Interesting video and what look like some good systems towards better ways of dealing with classroom disturbance.

    Like to see some comments from students here - Any takers ? Are these helpful ways to deal with disturbance in class?

  • There was a book written by a Brazilian man. I forget the title but it was something like Pedagogy of the Oppressed. Hardd to find but a great read on education and an alternative to the education system.

  • the video got stuck at 1:46

  • YEE ! this is for my homework ! (=
