Tuesday, September 6, 2011 The Annual Honeymoon That Was! Speaking of bringing the cycle of education to life---school is back to life for a new year! In fact, the first couple of honeymoon weeks have passed. Students are settled in. The volume of discipline cases is no doubt increasing. I remember this time well. As a teacher and administrator I experienced it in the classroom...across campus...and anywhere else students were present. I have witnessed this post-honeymoon uptick in discipline issues at both elite and struggling campuses. If you work in a school, you can no doubt relate...the honeymoon is over for 2011-12. Young people are fond of testing their boundaries. Adults must be consistent in setting and regulating them. Doing so early and consistently will pay off later...from now to--and hopefully through--when the seven-month itch sets in!!! It sounds so easy!
