Ian,
Love that story! In fact, you can find it decorating my website!
That said, there is a whole lot already going on with online educationl Online schools exist which can be chosen to fulfill the whole of one's high school education. So…

I must say that coercion at school is not actually working for me either. When the curriculum, class management, paper trail straightjacket falls, my compliance and co-operation is actually reduced.
True for student, true for teacher.
I need to be…

Thanks Mike,
I've just circulated those cartoons round our staff - they are as relevant to the treatment of teachers as they are to students; perhaps more so, since we are the recipients of so…

Just to ask a question or two:
How are the online facilities resourced for these 34? Are they in a community area, with mentor support/enrichment? Are they at home - assuming that home is, or can be an effective learning space with good technology…

Mike,
Someone somewhere has to put his/her foot down .... perhaps lots of them in unison, and reduce those class sizes. There is no shortage of teachers. There is only a shortage of WILL to spend the money. The extra funds are coming from the feds…
Mike replied to Hall Monitor's discussion 'Corporal Punishment Right for 21st Century Schools?'
Paul and Anne.... absolutely correct and yet it may be what it is for a while!
So...given the current realities...... we can learn to do classroom leadership and management better.....
A couple of thoughts......
As we ponder discipline we may…

Yikes....
They need to learn to come under authority.
We are really coming from very different place......
be well... mike

The major problem is that there are 35 kids in the classroom. There should be no more than 20 under any circumstances. If anything, overcrowded classrooms are often the catalyst that brings on disruptive behavior.
Jeff Hyson replied to Hall Monitor's discussion 'Corporal Punishment Right for 21st Century Schools?'
I'd say that your "Responsibility Model" would work great is students were young adults. However, in the elementary grades, a child's primary motive for behaving is not to get in trouble. They aren't necessarily motivated…
Kev replied to Hall Monitor's discussion 'Corporal Punishment Right for 21st Century Schools?'
Because there are 35 kids in the classroom and 34 of them deserve to be supported when 1 of them is disruptive. That has already been discussed.
You might also notice it is how humanity has operated since forever.
I'd argue the reason…

There is a terrifically simple, useful productive parenting program (yes, I know, it's a program) called 1-2-3 magic. Well worth pondering. It has some similarities to the 'supernanny' series of a few years ago.
Paul Anderson replied to Hall Monitor's discussion 'Corporal Punishment Right for 21st Century Schools?'
Maybe doing something at the primary grade level, with helping younger parents with parenting? I think just like anything else, we have to teach kids at a young age, to respect...... I think by the time they get to middle school, the problem becomes…
Paul Anderson replied to Hall Monitor's discussion 'Corporal Punishment Right for 21st Century Schools?'
I think in too many cases parents expect schools to do what parents should be doing, either because they can't or won't. Then they want to blame the schools for failure, when it was actually failure at home that caused the failure at…

Hi All...... hope this finds you well.
We may want to move this discussion toward the use of any form of coercion to get kids to do things!

Come to think of it, Paul, I can't say I remember seeing any girls spanked at school. At home, yes, but not at school.
In the days before ADHD was defined, boys were more active in school whereas girls were fairly content sitting still. As a…
Paul Anderson replied to Hall Monitor's discussion 'Corporal Punishment Right for 21st Century Schools?'
Anne's post kind of got me thinking. One thing that I didn't see in Mike's statistics was the breakdown by gender. When I think back to my school days, I don't know if I remember any girls ever getting disciplined like the boys.…
