Chapter 10 Make Them Responsible

Chapter ten talks about kids who are responsible and irresponsible. The ones that are irresponsible should be given little things to be in charge of that will eventually make them more responsible. If the kids has bad behavior or does something bad just ignore him/her and him/her will quite more than likely. Even if you do this with high school students or adults it works the same just like stickers from back in elementary school. This helps show how to get students to behave better without really doing anything and get things done for you. It could help with working with kids for a long time like a camp or club or organization project than giving everything to the responsible ones.

Chapter 9 Their Own Notes to Parents

This chapter was about students who misbehave writing their own letters home to parents, than you. When this is done, parents are more likely to believe it and not get mad at the teacher thinking that their kid is imperfect and horrible. Parents will more than likely tell the kid to behave better and give them a punishment that the kid won't like so the kid won't do anything bad anymore because the parent will know and act on that. This will help me in dealing with kids through camp or something by having them tell the parent, than  you.50 Ways to Improve Student Behavior

Chapter 8: Happy Notes to Parents

The chapter discuss that noticing good child behavior is good and telling parents this builds a better relationship and kids will behave better to have a note to give to their parents. This will then make it easier to deal with parents when there is a big problem with their children. It also makes the children happy. Even if you only send one every couple a months it should work out well and be enough.

Chapter 7: Meting Out the Seating

The chapter talks about in the beginning of the year for a week or so you should let students sit where they want to feel comfortable. After that you should know who is best to sit where and who by. This can allow you to move just the few by assigning them special jobs that make them move to better spot all the way around. You could also do groups rotating often and keeping the ones that need to be separated, separated. Can help me by working in groups and how to keep some form sitting together distracting everyone and not helping the group.

Chapter 6: Believe in Them!

Chapter tells you that teachers who help students by believing in them will make them believe in themselves and that students spend more time with teachers than with parents. This then means that students that who have positive role models that make them believe in themselves at home they still need their teacher to do so. If the teacher smile and stay patient with them and then encouragement students will believe that the teacher does truly care. This will help teachers with behavioral problems with kids by lowering it. This helps by reminding me to always stay positive even if I get the feeling the kid doesn't care whether I help him/her or doesn't grasp a concept so he/her starts to give up.

Chapter 5: Stay Near, Dear

The chapter states that you must break the physical barrier, which can break a mental barrier that wasn't even known existed, by moving around in your classroom. Just like when you go into talk to someone and they stay behind their desk it can feel more uncomfortable. Teachers need to take that to the classroom and kids will also have less behavioral problems. This helps both in and out of the classroom. It helps to know mixing it up doesn't hurt kids thinking.

Chapter 4: Are You All Right?

The chapter discuss about asking students acting out in bad ways in the class privately about are you all right. This will show the kid that you care and has noticed. This will help the kid to want to behave better and act better towards everyone. This relates to everything in life with other humans and helps with some kids in the class that I help with corrections and catching up on late work.
