[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I believe that day-to-day discipline problems should be addressed by the teacher. When you have to rely on your principal, you give up your power. I taught in a school that was plagued by the presence of at least three well-known gangs. In my classes, which averaged thirty students, I usually had one or two students from two-parent households. I taught elementary (Northwest before gentrification during the Crack epidemic) and a low SES high school (Northeast). The principal must SUPPORT the teacher and should have high expectations for student behavior; however, he/she should not be viewed as the dispenser of discipline.[/quote] You teach elementary. Big difference. We don't do time out and turning over colored cards in middle and high school. But let's say those scenarios (cell phone, laptops) happened in your room. How would you deal with those issues? [/quote]
