  Case: Clip Charts
I am unsure how to feel about using clip charts for behavior. I agree, to a certain extent, that it is embarrassing for students and can actually negate the correction of behavior. But I find that there are fewer and fewer ways to actually get your students to "knock it off" without being mean. What are some alternative ways to stop undesirable behavior quick and effectively?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Clip charts undermine all the instructor attempts to do by instilling a sense of fear and doubt into the student-teacher relationship. When we employ the use of clip charts, we risk losing many students' trust and, with it, their enthusiasm for learning. Instead, we instill fear in their minds. Students cannot learn how to manage strong emotions through educators using clip charts. Our students tend to display negative behaviors when they simply lack the knowledge to manage an undesirable or stressful situation.
