When I started calling parents to tell them what their kids did well, rather than always what they did wrong, my entire classroom dynamic changed for the better - and parents were happy to hear from me.

When kids cheat on assignments it is because they have been taught that grades outweigh the importance of knowing things. We need to fix this.

I used to keep kids in at recess for not completing homework. I now realize they didn't do the homework, not because they didn't want to, but because they didn't know how to and had no one to ask. The problem with homework: It highlights inequalities.

I stopped giving detentions when I finally understood that behaviour is a form of communication. I was punishing the act, rather than trying to understand the root cause of it - and when I finally did, I was typically more sad than I was angry.
