TEACHERS HANDBOOK X X XXXXXXXXX XXX-X-XX-XX XX X XXXX X XXX XXXX-XXX WELCOME T 0 CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL PHILOSOPHY The Thomas County Board of Education believes that is has the res ponsibility of developing a program of education in the public schools under its jurisdiction which will brOVlde all youth opportunities for becoming happy and useful members of society. The board recognizes many indiVidudI differences among students: some have greater potential than others ; all do not develop and learn at the same rate of speed; eddh may have different interests and needs. Because of these and other individual differences, the board recognizes its obligation to the alow learner as well as to the fast learner; to the emotionally disturbed as well as to the well I ,adjusted; to the sick as well ds to the Healthy; and to the poor as well as to the wealthy. Likewise, the board accepts its obligations to provide curricula suitable for students planning to attend college, for those wishing to enter trades and industry, and for those who will become self- employed. In addition to responsibilities for students of regular school age, the board recognizes and accepts its Obligation for certain educational needs of out-of-school youth and adultsI Running concurrently with these obligations; is the board's basic belief that schools should promote wholesome attitudes and spiritual values, healthy bodies, and an appreciation for the democratic way of life developed through experiences in democratic living within the school.

Temporary removal of a child from class may be justified. If his behavior prevents the group from carrying on thdir work, hd should be excluded from the room. But the teacher should fol low this disciplinary action at the end of the school day with a pupil conference to find out the reason for this misbehavior. 2. Are there times when a teacher should stand up to a puoil to save his ovrn dignity and self -respect? If an incident arises in which the teacher is publicly and maliciously pushed to assert his authority, the challenge might better be accepted. This demonstration of authority should .be the last resort. It sometimes causes the teacher to lose face'* even more. 3- Is it advisable for a teacher to refer a trouble-making child to the principal’s office? Only if the referral is used as a last resort and not as an easy way out. The teacher who .sends so called disciplinary cases to the office too frequently stands in danger of relinquishing his own role as a teacher. Therelis always a cause for a pupil to be a problem,case and it r.is the teacher’s responsibility to find out the cause and this can be accomplished only through a mutual understanding of«.the teacher-and-pupil 4*.: 4. What is the main factor leading to classroom behavior problems? Dull teaching! , . ’’This brings sluggish classroom activity. Children want to be busy and...if the teacher does not direct this activityy someone else will. ’ - oh Vr-.*;- -r... ...... ■ *• •- 5. Are "disciplinary ^problem^-ereated’^oniy "by the children?
