Customer comments on this selection.
 Very helpful
I wish I had read this book in the summer, and not after school had started. The book presents a wonderful way of problem-solving in the classroom. Make sure you read this before your new school year starts, as you need to study the techniques and absorb them. Classroom organization is crucial to the limit-setting technique. You need more desks at the back of the classroom. You also need to have a trusted colleague so that you send your testing students to his classroom, as the book suggests. In general, I think the book helps immensely with class management. I am a relatively new teacher and it's helped me a lot.
Too Many rules broke This Book is my heading
I'm teaching PE and taekwondo martial arts from preschool to high school this book is all I need to control but without hurting my student's feeling. There are so many ways offered out there but not one offer me a quality time for my students and at the same time solution. Now I use this book also to build discipline in martial arts.
Just what I have been looking for!
This book is just what I was looking for. It first helps you determine the type of disciplinarian you are in your classroom now. It described me to a "t". In very simple terms it described and diagrammed what I was doing wrong. It just makes so much sense. Then it goes on to show how to deal with a multitude of class and out-of-class discipline situations. It gives real situations and how the teacher dealt with them. Just what I needed. I will definitely be using this book as a guide for my classroom discipline this year.
Fellow teachers: Buy this book!
Finally, a classroom management book that I can really use! "Setting Limits" isn't filled with jargon,statistics, or theories; it implements real examples of classroom, playground and counseling scenarios and how they should (or shouldn't) be managed. Even better, there are examples from every grade level, K-12, so I didn't find myself searching for the chapters relevant to my teaching position.
This book helped me identify ways to streamline my middle school classroom-no more getting sidetracked by difficult students or unexpected situations. I can't wait to go back to school in August and use my sharpened skills.
FANTASTIC BOOK!
This is the best book on classroom discipline I have EVER read. It is to the point, with concrete ways of handling a variety of situations. It is also full of examples, most of which I have been through. In other words, these aren`t examples of situations that never or rarely happen. These are every day situations like what to do with a smart mouth student, or one that doesn`t want to listen to you, or the class clown.
I will recommend this book to all my friends at work.
You will not be dissapointed. Well worth the money.
