Thanks.

It's new age mumbo jumbo that elementary (I hope) schools are fond of now.

My kid has to "take a break" if she's being naughty. She says some wacky pledge ("I will not use my hands or my words for hurting myself or others") after the Pledge of Allegiance every day.

But "reflection table" probably tops everything I've heard come out of my kid's school, which is a real feat.

RichMSN and grunewar,
We use a behavior matrix to discipline the students in the event they are inappropriate on campus. Part of the matrix is a 5 min reflection time separate from the classroom to answer three questions. This gives time for the student and teacher to gather themselves before engaging each other again regarding the incident. The effectiveness is documentation is created for later use during parent conferences and/or suspension times. This also avoids the challenging times between student and teacher. Thanks for asking.

A behavior matrix? You're making fun of me now, aren't you?

We could use that matrix for coach behavior...

HAHA, no really. Types of behavior and level of consequence for each level.

I get it...you're training them to be future manages of corporations where they'll implement this same scheme.

Hey now! I like HR, but some days I don't know what I can say to people anymore. Sometimes I think we manage to avoid lawsuits then carry out our mission. But when someone shows their true colors to HR, its a wrap.
