I have to say, though, that I think the facts that it's not an option forces teachers to look for other ways to handle things. I rarely wrote referrals for kids. It had to be a serious problem. Just didn't seem to make things better (as you know).Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17456726438933742899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5590105980864822497.post-64027143629135808542013-03-11T21:32:04.490-04:002013-03-11T21:32:04.490-04:00Along the same lines: If students are late getting...Along the same lines: If students are late getting to school in general, but the next tardy they get (because they can technically get 7 tardies a day with our 7 period day) results in either ISS or OSS - why should the student even come to school if staying home doesn't result in a tardy consequence? <br /><br />I know that's not an answer to your question, but I figured I'd throw it out there. I had a discussion about this this evening as well and found it interesting that it's the topic of your post :).

I agree that other avenues must be explored. I always come back to technology- what can teachers do to engage students to create learning/knowledge rather than avoid? There are no easy answers, of course, but it is worth examining our curriculum and teaching practices.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5590105980864822497.post-6877682572448069662013-03-11T18:31:56.938-04:002013-03-11T18:31:56.938-04:00One of the reasons I'm so glad I work in eleme...One of the reasons I'm so glad I work in elementary...but I have to say it happens in here too as sad as it is.

In our school, I feel some teacher just abdicate their responsibilities - they let things get out of hand and then it's "off to t he principal's office!" I don't think most suspensions are warranted, truth to tell.Tara @ A Teaching Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07195982194362559883noreply@blogger.com
