The document discusses students' misbehaviors such as disruptiveness, absenteeism, and tardiness. It defines these terms and contrasts old, punitive strategies for addressing misbehaviors with a positive, non-violent discipline concept focused on respect, encouragement, and teaching life skills. The positive discipline approach aims to help students handle situations appropriately while making them feel a sense of belonging. Key techniques include creating rules, inspiring intrinsic motivation, and redirecting negative behaviors.

1. Students’ Misbehaviors
(Disruptive, Absenteeism and
Tardiness)

2. “I’ve come to the frightening conclusion
that I am the decisive element in the classroom.
It’s my personal approach that creates the
climate. It’s my daily mood that makes the
weather. As a teacher, I possess tremendous
power to make a child’s life miserable or joyous.
I can be a tool of torture or an instrument of
inspiration. I can humiliate or humor, hurt or
heal. In all situations it is my response that
decides whether a crisis will be escalated or de-
escalated, and a child humanized or de-
humanized.”
