“When everyone handles infractions with instructional correction procedures, students learn that what happens when they misbehave is procedure not personal.”
“If a child doesn’t know how to read, we teach.
If a child doesn’t know how to swim, we teach.
If a child doesn’t know how to multiply, we teach.
If a child doesn’t know how to drive, we teach.
If a child doesn’t know how to behave, we ...teach? ...punish?
Why can’t we finish the last sentence as automatically as we do the others?"
