If a problem arises I will talk to that student privately and try to handle it in the best and fairest possible way. If it is something I cannot handle alone I will seek help from my supervisor or principal. I will treat every student consistently the same. I expect everyone including myself to be safe in my classroom and to want everyone to want the same for everyone else. I will not tolerate anyone harming another person.
Elementary education is so important.
It lays the foundation to higher education. If students do not get a good start to their education they can be lost. Without a good knowledge base early in school students struggle and become frustrated and some even give up. Reading, writing, science and math are important subjects. But these are not the only important ones.
