Used to think that the book would be dry but after reading a few parts, i think it is not that bad. ~sye 😅

I used to carry the impression of old school discipline “imparted” from my teachers to my students. Now I think, preserving the dignity goes a longer way.

# data[].attributes.body
It is easier said than done. It requires lots of learning and unlearning our old ways in order to change the way we approach discipline.

I used to think that discipline is going harsh on the students and making them learn through these failures but now I think there is more to just making them learn through failures. We need to connect before we can correct them.

# data[].attributes.body
That is going to be something complex, but it is something that I have observed colleagues practicing in school

One of the chapters that I felt was really useful was chapter 9- managing stress effectively. It acknowledged the challenges of discipline with dignity at a personal level.

I knew discipline work was tiring but I underestimated the challenge of balancing it with a newborn at home. By sharing this, I want to acknowledge that everyone in the team will have their own challenges and I would like to reassure you that we work as a team. :)

I used to think that students are still too young to discern values and teachers need to be the one to build character. Now, I realise that students perceiving their environment and forming perceptions and identity much earlier. Hence when teachers interact with them, and also discipline them, we also need to treat them as perceiving adults and give them the respect that is due.

I used to think books only contain theories that may not be practical/realistic to handle discipline.

Though I have not finished reading the book. There was a phase which I like in this book that resonate with me." Everytime we take something away from Student, we must replace it with something. (Page 54)

The author explained using this very relatable example. Say a person who keeps missing his shots at basketball, he is punished and not allowed to play anymore. Which is not helping the child

Students’ well-being must be considered when meting out disciplinary consequences hence discipline with dignity.

When we discipline with care, we will discipline with dignity.

Child’s learning is the focus of why we discipline

Learning is a process. Child may not learn immediately.

Patience is needed. Love is needed.

3 Learning Points

Discipline is about connecting with students first. We can show the authentic side of us to the students and thereby, establishing a stronger connection with students. We can use "I" statements to share our thoughts and feelings with students.

2 connections

I get my students to greet me at the door/teacher's table before going to their seats in class.

1 question

Is the "I" statement easy to use in reality?

Used to think that punishment is the key to solve behavioural issues. Now I've learnt that students need to be taught about self-discipline and responsibility to understand the issues and prevent it from occuring again.

1) It is possible that disruptive students do not feel comfortable with approaching their teachers.

2) Form connections with students in ways to gain their trust (talking to them, understanding them)

3) Let down personal defences to allow students to see that they don't have to be perfect to be successful.

2 Connections

1) Allowed me to consider why some students are disruptive.

2) Allowed me to consider some of the methods shared in the book.

1 Question

1) Are there other relevant books?

I used to think Discipline takes place when correcting misbehavior. But Chapter 5 highlights the Power of Prevention.

# data[].attributes.body
I used to think that I just need to remove the negative behaviour. Now I know that I need to help the child to replace the positive with the negative.

Praise: the tone most teachers use with their students is worthy of praise as they stay calm and composed despite the severity of the incidents and cases

Tell: i like the content that can tie in with our system to an extent

Ask: not really but glad that through our tip series, we have provided real-life examples

Give: i suggest for us to explore other authors/books, in time to come, not because the current book is not good but for us to learn from others.

The collaborative effort of the team is praiseworthy. I wonder if we can engage more of our teachers to practise Discipline With Dignity in their classrooms daily. I  wonder if we can handhold some teachers ( at least initially to get them started ).
