  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!)
One thing that I have recently been introduced to is to have the student commit acts of service around the school based on the rule that was broken. Studies have shown that when students, or even criminals, are required to provide an act of service for the school, or the community, has allowed the person to not only reflect on what they did wrong but decide to not do the act again. This is not full proof but there have been many people that this type of discipline has helped.
