I am not in favor of using behavior charts. Student behavior is not a classroom decoration. If you must have one, don't display it publicly. Am I wrong?.#thatonekid #classroommanagement.

Some adults in school are good at pouring gasoline on a tiny fire. Not saying the kid isn't at fault, rude, disrespectful, etc. Simply asking do you pour water or gasoline? The goal is to defuse every time. #classroommangement #thatonekid.

What are your thoughts about being sarcastic with kids when you are teacher? Never? Why not? Be careful?.#teacher.

Classroom management is about managing yourself and how you respond to students. After all, you can only control yourself. You can't control other people. #classroommanagement #thatonekid.

Classroom policies without flexibility are destined to fail. Does your school have "Fun Friday" or a version of it? #teachers #SchoolCulture #ClassroomManagement #TeachingStrategies #TeacherCommunity #EdChat

Criticism without compliment isn't criticism, it is abuse! If you are always criticizing a student then they are going to stop listening to you altogether. #thatonekid.
