Chapter 5

I thought it was interesting when they were talking about the source of the disciplinary problems. If you can see the child's home environment then you can find the source of the problems. I have two students who are struggling getting their homework in on time. To try to help these students we had a child study for them last week and one parent didn't even bother to show up. Needless to say we didn't get a whole lot accomplished during our meeting. I have found out that building the students self-esteem up works wonders when trying to control the classroom. If the students feel like something is accomplishable then they are more willing to try.
