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 💁‍♀️

Addressing the root causes of a behavior and providing alternative routes of self expression goes a lot longer of a way towards genuine improvement than doling out punishments do.

@Eternity that's what the counselor and social worker is for. I have them for literally a FRACTION of the da ( as I am not the homeroom teacher). I wish I had time to address root behavior.
