Connect: Punishing doesn't normally lead to a consistent long-term outcome.

Extend: Need to find different approaches instead of punishing. Finding alternatives are probably a lot more involved than just punishing. But they would be worth it for the student in the long run. Prevent the school-to-prison pipeline :(

Challenge: How do you keep your composure when facing students with behavior problems?

Connect: I knew that discipline was not the answer in nearly all cases.

Extend: I did not know how many of the students who were disciplined were from those who were in special ed

Challenge: How to remain positive when we are frustrated

Connect: Students of color and special needs students are more likely to be disciplined.

Extend: I was so beyond shocked to see the numbers associated with this point. Blacks 3x more likely to be suspended. the Special needs is 12% of the student population but they make up 23% of the discipline issues... WOW!!!

Challenge: I'm really curious to find out why this is. Are these student actually presenting a discipline problem or is it a different viewpoint that the teacher doesn't want to consider?
