[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So many kids now say that they are being bullied when it was just that another kid was mean. It’s not okay to be mean, but it’s different than being bullied. I had parents who could not understand the distinction.

If the elementary schools would be stricter, it would help so much. They got rid of letting teachers use systems like earning tickets for positive behavior when Responsive Classroom came out. Some kids, especially little ones, don’t have internal controls, and using external controls like earning tickets or whatever gives the kid some behavioral structure, so you can get the class settled down and the kids can learn and be successful, so then you can withdraw the tickets or whatever. So many young kids just full on out of hand in schools now.[/quote]

I taught back in the day before the responsive classroom.  Three are some good points to it--but it is unrealistic to expect it to work for all kids.  I think most good teachers have always used a lot of positive reinforcement Also, I don't think tak9ng away recess is a good idea--but a minute or two "against the fence" can work wonders when everyone else started to play.[/quote]
