I’ve already read through all the material. There’s a lot of interesting information in there.

One question though. At my school we don’t have a full time counsellor who we can send students out to. The role is performed by various classroom teachers who have their own lessons to teach.

The only places to really send a student are to another teacher’s class or to the office.

The office only has two chairs and also serves as an entry point for parents, so it is not really a place where several disruptive students can be sent to.

Also, at my school students are never sent of of class, no matter what they’re behaviour is like. The usual procedure is to give them a demerit (a penalty-point system that operates on a whole-school basis) and afterwards write up a referral to their Year Coordinator.

Is there a way to make the discipline system work with these constraints.
