The adults and children in a prepared environment such as ours set limits for behavior based on the group's need for a safe and mutually respectful community. At Monroe Montessori School it is important that each child clearly understands the need for community rules and possible consequences for violating such rules. If a student has difficulty following the rules of the community, the response will be age-appropriate. If such behavior occurs with high frequency, the teacher may request another teacher to observe and offer consultation. The teacher explains or reviews class or school rules and warns of possible consequences.
