“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?”

“When everyone handles infractions with instructional correction procedures, students learn that what happens when they misbehave is procedure not personal.”

“When teachers know and use positive and preventative management strategies, many of the commonly reported minor classroom behaviours can be avoided.”

“When it comes to discipline, it does not make sense for educators to use the criminal justice model first, before employing what they were professionally prepared to use–teaching and mentoring approaches.”

“Punishing students doesn’t teach them the right way to act.”
