If your familiar with this program it uses a level system. Fighting would be a level 2 offence and the parent would be meeting with the counselor and a behavior program would be set up for the child. We started this program this fall and we are pretty please with the results. If you would like more info let me know. This setting is also used for students that need to be removed from a situation on the playground before it escalates.
Teachers volunteer to supervise the noon detention.
With everyone participating, it should only occur once every 5-6 weeks. The teachers like this plan. It takes the monkey off their backs to have to spend time each afternoon sorting out information or reports from the kids about the noon recess. Contact me if you have questions. In Mandan any student involved in fighting anyplace at school would get 3 days of detention, after school for 45 minutes each day.
