Student views

I had a writing assignment for my students yesterday. It was a persuasive letter to the principal. It was to give the administration ideas or suggestions on how to improve student behavior. Most of my students wrote about things like being able to drink soda's,getting snacks and other things that seventh graders think are important.But I had one student that had a really good idea. Her idea was this: if a student gets suspended or is in in school suspension during the school year, then that student should have to come to a mandatory summer school where anger management and social skills would be taught.

I thought "wow that is a really good suggestion." I have planned to talk to the principal about the suggestion and thought it would be good to let the student meet with her as well. Who knows, maybe she will start a new trend in discipline.
