After all, one our jobs is to teach our kiddos how to deal with conflict constructively. This was a great way to model how to face an issue in a nice way....because, let's face it, most of them aren't learning how to do it at home.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8458937443261385091.post-30833080247698685852008-09-28T11:56:00.000-07:002008-09-28T11:56:00.000-07:00Hooray for you!

I especially like, and agree with, your observation that the student in question already singles himself out through his actions, and allowing the other students to address him in a structured, safe environment is doing him, and the other students, a great service.<BR/><BR/>I am a middle school special education teacher and I deal with a lot of students who have emotional disabilities. We ALWAYS try to make them see and understand the impact their actions have on the people around them (including us), and we ALWAYS strive to protect the other students (and professionals) from the actions of the student who is acting out.Deven Blackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01684373046164943671noreply@blogger.com
