Thanks
It's all mine-
and I speak whereof I know. I have many extremely difficult students in my 6th period class (students who are routinely suspended) and yet I have never needed to send any of them to the office. To my surprise they tell other people they like me and respect me (behind my back, of course) even though every day with them is a battle of wits. As the adult in that classroom, it is a battle of wits I win by patience, preparation and creativity. We sell our children short by using violence, and what we teach them is not worth knowing. The powerful can hurt the weak, and the weak can wish to grow up to be big enough to do the same. Is that a lesson we need to reinforce? i think not.
