[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was a middle school teacher in a very difficult title 1 school. Imagine going to work and being disrespected every day. We did the best we could. Admin did actually take management and discipline seriously although they wanted us to move heaven and earth (a suggested consequence after an atrocious class was that I volunteer to hold them for detention for 2 hours after school...... no thank you).

Teachers were permitted and encouraged to stop class and essentially institute detention/quiet working/ reading time if students' behavior made it so we could not teach. It was not intended to be continuous, but helped when they needed a break. If you haven't taught, consider there is a lot you don't know.[/quote]

Did they actually sit and work quietly and read? I've had some that wouldn't do that no matter what I tried. They'd have to be removed from the room.[/quote]

0P of the comment you're responding to here. Yes when I got to that point, they actually did. More or less. Maybe not with utter silence but mostly quiet. But that was not something I would use frequently. They also knew at that point that further detention could be coming, and generally wanted to avoid it[/quote]
