Books with Characters Behaving Badly: Interesting for Children as well as Adults
As adults, we’re fascinated by stories of complex characters behaving badly. Children are also interested in stories that depict complex characters who display authentic emotions and less than stellar behaviors.

Classroom Practices That Aren’t Helping Fix Bad Behavior
The kids got a check at the end of each day for every category they had achieved. At the end of the week, they earned stars for all of their check marks. And with these stars they were allowed to buy a prize from the prize box. That's right, we monetized our classroom. Basically, we paid our kids to act like we wanted.
Such a bad idea.
