I work at a school 🏫

** let me clarify. Their recess is only about 20 minutes. I take 3-5 minutes. This is only after I have told them REPEATEDLY to behave.***
I don't see that as harsh...

I told a little girl what to do and she rolled her eyes at me.

I accidentally said "back to you!". Lol
She was also mad because I took away her recess for bad behavior.

Keep on and you'll lose recess tommorow too..

😄

Kids drive me up the freaking walls!

I absolutely LOVE the ones who pay attention.

Going to dollar tree this weekend for plenty of snacks and little small toys that they CANNOT play with in my class 💁‍♀️

And when that punishment is no longer effective...?

@SW-User They need to learn to behave. Rewards are effective as well, as stated up above.
If they still can't behave and stop disrupting my class, I can call parents.

@iamnikki I get it. Teacher for 15yrs here. But sometimes them not having the space or time to run and get the energy out makes it worse.

@SW-User they do plenty of moving inside the classroom (I e, dance along videos for breaks). They also have gym class. Their recess is SUPER short anyway (school rules/schedule, not mine),so me taking a few minutes off of it , to me, isn't a big deal. 3 mins is an eternity to them.
