A Novel Approach To High School Discipline

I just read this article posted by Neil Gaiman on his Twitter.


It makes interesting reading for anyone who's a teacher or a parent or ever planning on becoming either.


Actually, you'll probably also find it pretty interesting if you've ever been a high school student.


A New Approach to High School Discipline

  2. This is so heartening to see! Being a retired high school teacher, I have seen so many kids being lumped together and treated the same when discipline is concerned. Some kids deserve to be suspended while most don't. This principal is a hero in my books....to stand up and have the 'balls' to try something that could work for the students and teachers alike.

    1. Thanks for commenting Jim. I'm with you. Here's to more heroes who are willing to take a risk and try to do things differently. As Margaret Mead said: “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed, citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.”
