This is a recent compliant that I received from a teacher.

“My students behave for the first week after they get back from the discipline program, but after that they go back to their old habits and get in trouble again.”

Let’s analyze this statement:

Student + this teacher + this teacher’s classroom = misbehavior

Student + different teacher + different classroom = good behavior + carry over good behavior

Student + return to the original teacher + return to the original classroom = more misbehavior

Where exactly is the problem? If this teacher was a member of your staff, how would you address her complaint?

Think. Work. Achieve.

Your turn…
