10 Notes

Summer Book Club - Letting a child wait for the consequences

Near the beginning of the book (pg 16 in my copy), the author describes a teacher telling a student not to worry about the consequence, they will let them know at a later time.  The teacher continues to push it back, and push it back.

At what age level do you think this technique is appropriate?

Do you think it would be effective in your classroom?   

Would this help you focus on instruction rather than classroom management?
