Chapter 10

One quote that stands out for me from this chapter was,"kids will respond positively to a penalty when they see a logical connection between their behavior and what happens to them as a result of that behavior." This past Friday all the teachers were going to a funeral. On Thursday, my teacher told her class that they better behave for the subs.One of the students (who is usally terrible when there is a sub) suggested that any cards pulled should be double time at recess. The class agreed, and when they got their cards pulled that day were more then willing to serve the extra time. By letting the students come up with the consequences they took ownership of their behavior.
