Quote:  “Like most professional educators, I got in this business because it’s rewarding to help kids. As school administrators we often have to assign consequences for the poor choices students make. From my view this is a process that very much can help kids. It helps them assume responsibilities for their actions. Unfortunately, many people learn best by experiencing negative consequences - they learn from the school of hard knocks. But if the experiences, however unpleasant, help students grow into more responsible citizens we all benefit from the efforts.”
