We just have to do the best we can under trying circumstances. If kids stay up all night watching movies, then there is very little we can directly do about it at school. In some way we have to try to modify their behavior in ways that are accessible to us. If we could do something in the classroom that can make the kid learn that staying up and not doing school work results in the denial of certain likable things, then there lies the key to behavior modification, which teachers can implement in the learning environment to good effect. There is ample evidence in research studies that show that behavior modification principles and practices are not only possible but also VERY effective.Thozi Nomvetehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10074862465747985304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3725285395319049030.post-39113960011478979552010-03-28T14:57:51.593-04:002010-03-28T14:57:51.593-04:00I have students ike this too.

We cannot take them home and tuck them into bed every night but we be are expected to keep their heads off the desks every minute of the day. Sometimes I just want to let them sleep while I teach the ones who want to hear what I have to say.Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06318338900830916962noreply@blogger.com
