[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Come on people. Use your brains. Any successful school has an approach to discipline that is both proactive and reactive. And it keeps clear lines of communication between parents and the school.

In terms of the cafeteria, the school needs to be proactive:
--examine the set-up and flow of the cafeteria. At my school, we learned to never put the fifth and sixth grade classes next to each other.

[b]--explicitly teach the procedures for going thru the line, getting supplies, cleaning up when finished eating, etc.

--explicit teach expectations for noise and when kids can move around. At my school, kids may not get up on their own for any reason. They raise their hand if they need something.

--make sure all the teachers and monitors know the procedures and expectations.
[/b]
--build relationships with kids

And the school needs to be reactive when kids misbehave. 
--give reminders and redirect.
--give assigned seats 
--have kid take a break and sit at table off to the side. They lose the privilege of eating with friends.
--if the kid continues to misbehave, they may lose the privilege of eating in the cafeteria. Have a parent conference.

There is no one magic solution or trick. It's hard work, but it can be done.

Not sure about the other parts, but in bolded, RP does do this. I have witnessed it myself and my kids have told me the same thing. [/quote]
