There's something different about me this school year. Last Friday, in a situation that would have made me lose my cool with the 6th graders, I remained calm and confident, and a bit animated - like I was still having fun even in the midst of the chaos. It paid off. The class got back in order, and the working rapport was not broken.
I'm finding out that imaginative disciplining works. I think it is when I let go of my imagination that I begin to stiffen up and become rigid - in other words "inorganic". Hmmmmm, organic disciplining.
