My favorite part of these chapters are the teacher/student scenerios because they really give me a concrete idea of how to approach a problem student in my class. The first scenerio showed the teacher only focusing on that particular student's behavior. This way the student cannot bring up another student's behavior as an excuse. Another scenerio showed the teacher asking the student for advice on how to make the class better. This shows that the teacher values the student's opinion.
In this chapter I also learned that when giving students choices, they must be made aware of the consequences of each choice. Unfortunately, I have a lot of students who don't seem to care about the consequences. Often losing recess is a consequence, but the same students are missing recess everyday so it is obviously not having an effect on them.
