Case: Inconsistent Disciplining
I am a student teacher and I have volunteered to participate in a special group of student teachers who are interested in teaching in diverse settings. One of the participants in our first group meeting was telling us about her disciplinary methods. When the white children in her class misbehave she sternly reprimands them because, she believes, they know the rules and they know what they are supposed to do. However, when the seven African American students misbehave, she gives them another chance because she wants them to know she cares. I have to react to this person and perhaps explain to her what the consequences of her action could be. What should I do and say? I am not even sure if her methods are actually good or bad.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would remind her that rules are rules and in the classroom there are no set of rules for blacks and no set of rules for whites. This type of thing can turn out bad in the long run, students should be reminded that they are exspected to follower all rules in class or on the school campus. |

Comments: I appreciate that this solution actually confronts the teacher giving unequal discipline. It also presents what may happen if she were to continue this behavior. |
