  Case: Are reflections the best answer for consequences?
When we have a student at our school that gets a discipline referral, their consequence is to write a 1/2 page reflection letter and an apology note to the teacher. This consequence has no effect or meaning to many students, especially the older ones. What are some other consequences that our administration could try?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
This sounds like an adequate first time offender consequence. If they repeat the same offense then it should be something more severe...like taking a desired activity away. Then if it happens again, something more severe, and so on.

Comments: This solution lacked enough detail; therefore, I will not be able to utilize it in a classroom. What type of punishment would the teacher choose next that would be considered more severe?

Comments: Students tend to care less about punishments when you're giving them negative reinforcements. Writing the paper means nothing. To them, taking away activities and missing school is like a mini vacation.

Comments: I think a referral should be viewed as very serious and have the same serious consequence.

Comments: Writing reflections means little to students and often only makes them more agitated. Making them do it over and over again before finally doing something else only wastes time and effort.
