Teacher Behavior Management Plans typically vary from classroom to classroom depending on what the teacher is like and what her styles are. The teachers in MY district got that taken away from them this year because the district decided to implement a SCHOOL WIDE policy across the baord.....meaning grades K-12 have the SAME policy pretty much. My school has won countless awards nationally for their practices, but this I do NOT agree with and I think this plan will backfire on them. Truly. You can not give a child who is 5 detention and expect them to first of all understand it, and second of all remember why they are getting it 3 days AFTER the day they earned it, and lastly, make the parents take their children to school a half and an hour early to HAVE the dentention. I feel it is unfair to the children, the parents, and the teachers who do not LIKE this policy but are now forced to use it. I am MAD about it and don't think I will be signing the paper on Thursday when I go in. While the other "steps" in their program I can agree to, I will not agree to detention for my kindergarten child.
