Section 4 Interventions

The first intervention that I found very effective in my classroom was the changing of location. When two kids are were being disruptive, I would move one of them to the other side of the classroom.
Another intervention I've seen in my field experience was time out. The problem with South Range's time-out is it is in the Principal's office. The students would come back with revenge on their mind. Like the book says, " Students are supposed to come back from time-out when they are ready."
One problem I see with the interventions is the after school conferences. I don't think many parents would be willing to pick their child up at 3:15, for a thirty second conference. Unfortunately, the problem child's parents often do not hold a high value on education.

chapter 15

I think the time-out room is a great idea. I have one student in my class who decides about once a week that they are going to be disruptive. On these days know matter what I try he continually disrupts the class. By having a time-out room this student would not disrupt the learning of others.
My favorite part of this chapter was when it gave the different scenarios. I've had each one of those situations come up during my student teaching. It was cool to see how to handle the given scenarios using love and logic principals. I now see how easily it can be done.
One issue that wasn't discussed that I think needs to be is, this school took time out of the school day to implement this plan. I don't think that would fly here.

Chapter 14

South Range is very big on the rewards system. If your have good behavior for 30 days, You get to pick a prize. If the class is good for 30 days they receive a reward day. This seems to be a great motivator for the students,for the most part. However, when the prize boxes start to run low the students start complaining. The teacher then becomes angry and refuses to buy more stuff. The students are no longer motivated and behavior worsens. This is what I experience in my classroom.
The one principal of Love and Logic that I've tried to implement is giving the students choices. When I do it works wonderfully. I liked the idea of letting your students know, so when I situation arises they can ask if they have choices.
