km commented on the article |increased staff in the counseling/student management department is a must in some schools. NOT to simply enforce and supervise detention but to work PROACTIVELY with behavior issues. This is a guidence and education problem. Not 'reading and writing' education but the educaction/intervention/plan that will help students behavior in the long term as well as short term in the immediate classroom. Without the staff to devote to that sort of planning and follow through we are left with the outdated and ineffective model of 'send the kid to the office/detention/suspension' with little or not remediation of the underlying problem. There should always be a safe place to send a student in an emergency discipline situation, but our infrastructure drops off after that to deal with the student who will respond with a more defined behavior assessment and plan. There are students who may respond to a detention or for whom a threat of detention is enough there are more students for whom this solution offers NO guidance, help, or insight.

Bingo on the point about teaching, or in some cases influencing, factors that are not represented or measured in the short term. I've had former students, two of them my own children, who related that while in school with teachers who inspired them they a) chose not to do the work, but realized later (in life/college) the profound effect that teacher had or b) while underperforming (they had the potential but again chose to do other things) having a particular teacher ensured that they stayed in school and engaged and in some cases even influenced the students' future career choice and,for one student in particular, success in that career. When you can measure that essence, that art in the science of teaching, then talk to me about fair merit pay.
