Discipline Exercises "Missing Money." My first reaction is to look at all the students involved and at their reactions. Eileen looks shocked, but does Carol look guilty? While Carol may have behavior issues, I cannot make snap judgments about her and the missing money. Other options would be to talk to Carol and Eileen, and try to get to the bottom of the missing money from them. Talking to Carol might frighten her enough for her to confess. I would talk to them privately, and I would also talk to the student who called out "Carol took it," and find out if he or she actually saw Carol take the money from the wallet. If no one confesses, there is not a lot I can do, but I can ask the class if anyone saw anything, and weigh their answers. I cannot accuse Carol of something I didn't see, just because she has a bad reputation in the classroom. I have to depend on eyewitnesses and concrete information. I could also check Carol's wallet and see if the money was there. My long-term solution would be to tell students not to bring money into the classroom, and to keep an eye on their possessions.

I would tell them they needed to be responsible for their actions and come with me to the office. I would try to convince them to come on their own, without force, but I would call other teachers if I had to. If they threatened me I would retreat, but I would call for help, and I would make notes about who they were, what they were wearing, etc., so that I could find them in the classrooms and make sure they were disciplined. I would not leave myself in the…
Montessori and Exercises in Practical Life Learning is a life-long adventure in the philosophy of discovery. To maximize learning, one cannot underestimate two things: learning opportunities and the environment surrounding the learning activity. Learning opportunities must be interesting, meaningful, and purposeful for learners -- particularly children. At the very crux of the ideas surrounding the philosophy of education, however, there are two basic views: 1) humans are born with the innate
Pastoral Counseling Spiritual Exercises A daily spiritual routine It is often said that the most important part of life is just 'showing up.' 'Showing up' to one's spiritual life is a vital part of religious practice. When the worldly aspects of one's existence, such as jobs and children, draw one's focus away from spirituality, it is easy to think that there is not enough time to pray and reflect. However, it is
