I don't think my McSmarties quite get it....
Students who are caught out of uniform, not paying attention during class, talking instead of learning are asked to place their names on the whiteboard and get 'lunch detention" with me. That means they get to come up to the room, eat their lunch, then read quietly. They lose the privilege to go to lunch and talk to their friends. This is meant to be a consequence to hopefully promote paying attention and taking an active part in their own learning.
Today I had about 7-8 students who were given lunch detention, and then I had 4-5 who wanted to come up and work on their blog, and another 2-3 who just wanted to come upstairs and read where it was quiet.
I had more students in the classroom for silent lunch then were in the lunchroom. I think I had 16-17 students out of my 26.
Hmmmm, I guess it seems that a quiet lunch isn't punishment after-all.
