Her students must have a strong idea of sympathy and empathy. For many people, this is something that must be taught; it is not so intrinsic. It is a key element to classroom management.

Tritt's positive discipline works- it is worth looking into-it was developed by Lynn Lott and Stephen Glenn. But something to keep in mind is that most of the children come to Tritt with a sense of how to "do school" already. Sometimes, those skills have to be taught with artificial means. I think a good example is us- we are are in class for two reasons- one because we want the extra money- external motivation, but really we would have quit a long time ago if that was all it was- two we love to learn - intrinsic motivation. And it feels awfully good to please our teachers doesn't it? Are you reading this Rhina- can I have a smiley face? Jen, I agree with you that a variety of systems is probaby a good idea.
