@educator4ever36@FromTeachrsDesk I was at a luncheon a few months ago. The 10 year old next to me waited for his mother's phone. She said she had to 1st check her notifications before giving it to him. I could see that he played a very repetitive game the entire time. Sad.
@educator4ever36 I used to give the offender a one page "behavior plan" to write.
It stated: The reason I am writing this plan is because I (state the offense). I should have... In the future, I will,,,
Every line had to be filled.
I also had "mini" plans which were much shorter.
@educator4ever36 It is important that no child/student ever be left out. Teachers can employ various strategies so that this does not happen. The Golden Rule can be learned and practiced.
@educator4ever36 The classroom environment is friendly to all children. I learned in college though, if you have to create an activity that leans either toward the females or the males, choose the males. Boys don't like going along w/ girls but the girls will go along w/ the boys. True!
