Case: Walking in a Line
Ms. Blanchard's 5th grade class is fairly well-behaved. They adhere to most classroom rules and can be managed pretty well in the classroom using a clip chart. However, in the halls it is a totally different story. The students feel that since they are 5th graders, and see other 5th grade classes not having to walk in a line, they shouldn't have to either. Ms. Blanchard has tried a reward system, threatening to clip students down, etc. But, it seems as if the entire class is always misbehaving so she just doesn't know what to do. Other teachers, especially primary grade teachers who have students looking to 5th grade as an example, are beginning to make comments. What can be done?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
What I would do in this situation is take something that they enjoy during the day away from them. If you have computer time, instead of computer time have the students read or write sentences. Also keep a name of the students to yourself on exactly who is not walking in a line and talk to parents. |

| Comments: I like the idea of taking away privileges, but I am against the idea of using work to punish students. I believe that giving students extra work as a punishment, or making them read and write sentences as a punishment is not good because then students begin to associate these activities with punishment. I want my students to enjoy reading and writing, not view it as a punishment! |
