  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!)
I think loss of privileges is an appropriate consequence. However, don't immediately bypass reflections. We need to continually support the emotional intelligence of our students through reflections and problem-solving.
