If a student does get up to go to time out, but kick or knocks items and chairs down as he or she goes, how is this handled? Thanks!

You’ll approach and whisper to the student while she is still in time-out.

Your book is on its way to my mailbox, as well. From the point where you say, "Wait until the time-out is over and the student has settled down..." is the student back in her regular seat, or does this take place while still in time-out?

By keeping them separated, you're communicating to them that they're unable to control themselves like regular members of the class. And behavior won't improve. It will likely worsen. I write about this extensively in Dream Class. The chapter is called Treat The Cause, Not The Symptoms. Michael Hi Julia,

I am talking about students who CAN NOT keep their hands to theirselves and are constantly disruptive, etc. I know in the behavior letter to the parents it says that the child will be in all day time-out. I would consider sitting apart from the others an "all day time-out." So if they already sit apart from the class does that mess with that? Should I just move them back with the other students and start over with time-outs & consequenses instead of having them sit apart all the time? This is my first year teaching and I am at a very low income school with kids that have home issues. (I did already read about not making excuses for the kids. That helped me a lot b/c I feel like I should waver for them since they live less than desirable home lives.) Is it effective to have a student sit apart from the class all the time?

You must not, however, excuse his/her behavior because he/she may be more impulsive than others. You do students no favors by holding them to a different standard. If you do, it is akin to giving up on them--to some degree. It's like saying, "Well, Jenny is impulsive and forgetful, so I don't expect her to follow directions like everyone else." We can all make excuses and come up with reasons why we can't do this or that. But they do us no good. Enforce your rules without added lectures, reminders, pep talks, etc., and he or she will get it sooner rather than later. Hi Muniba,

Thank you.
