Ch. 13 p. 266 Do Not Tolerate Put-downs
I think it is very necessary to have a positive enviroment in your classroom. After observing in classes all semester, I can see how put downs can negatively affect the classroom. " When children are belittled by their peers, something happens that is hurtful beyond repair. When it happens in front of an adult, an adult who is supposed to care, and the adult does nothing, then the damage is even greater." What that means is that it is my job as the teacher and adult in the classroom to make sure that students aren't belittled in my classroom. I've noticed that there are certain students that sometimes bring the comments on themselves, but it is my job to help these students cope in social situations as well! I really cannot wait until I have my own classroom that I can help influence our future!
