Behavior Charts are a way to make behavior very VISUAL for younger students who don't remember where they are. They can look up and remind themselves what they need to do. This part i think is beneficial compared to the private behavior

I think this can be on a case by case basis. Some kids that shut down easily can be pulled aside, but that still is "publicly shaming" them. Some students correct their behavior right then and there.

There needs to be some kind of consequence for behavior.  What is the author's solution, ignore undesirable behavior?  I feel behavior charts are useful for parent communication and data collecting.

I ignored a lot of  undesireable behavior last year and complimented the class on what they were doing correctly, being very specific and often it did help that student who was having a difficult time. In that particular class I had to ignore the stop sign behavior plan because it just did not work, but for my other class it worked great.

Once the child leaves the room they are terrified to talk to their parents about their day if they didn't do well. Even some kids who got one below the "best" are shamed by their parents. At ATB we see how parents and students interact about these behavior charts and for many it is not a good interaction. When parents see their kids it should be how was your day? and the kids tells them, not "How was your day?"  tear... tear. sniffle sniffle... "I got a blue."  **start breakdown and fit**

i agree if the behavior chart is used in the manner in which she described.  I haven't used them since I taught primary,  However, some checks and balances need to be in place.  I do think kids need to be aware when they aren't meeting expectations in some form.  So what is the solution.  I usually try to talk with the student in private and write in their planners or send home a note of my concerns. We must at admit that at some point we all have called students out that have pushed so far, that it is forgive me totally pushes you to calling them out , it is not out of sheer meanness, but out of frustration.  I went to several over her other articles and she negates  a lot of tools that I have tried or we use,  so what;s the answer.

Behavior reflection sheets would be a great place to start. We need to be having conversations with kids to ensure they know what appropriate behaviors are and correcting any misconceptions they may have.
