To Whom It May Concern,

I would like to bring to your attention an important observation regarding the relationship between student success and behavior in the academic environment. It has been noted that when students experience a sense of achievement and confidence in their academic pursuits, there is a corresponding decline in negative behaviors. This suggests that when students are engaged and focused on their learning, they are less likely to exhibit disruptive behaviors.

Therefore, I urge educators to prioritize effective instruction over strict behavior management strategies. The more time and energy spent on enforcing disciplinary measures, the less time is available for meaningful instruction. For instance, consider a scenario in which you, as a teacher, implement a rigid set of rules: students must arrive on time, behave appropriately, and remain seated. If a student fails to adhere to these rules, they may face consequences such as being made to stand outside for arriving late or receiving a reprimand for being noisy.

The critical question arises: whose time is ultimately being wasted in this situation? The answer is both yours and your students'. When disciplinary actions take precedence over teaching, valuable instructional time is lost, hindering the learning process for everyone involved.

In conclusion, fostering an environment where students feel successful and confident should be the primary focus. By doing so, we can create a more conducive learning atmosphere that minimizes negative behaviors and maximizes academic engagement.

A Retiree Sentiments - MGS

Years I spent within these walls,
Counting days and answering calls.
Friends I met along the way,
Yet none stood when skies turned gray.
 
Length of service, long and true,
But still I’m stranded, feeling blue.
No foundation, no strong base,
Financial freedom lost its place.
 
They come to me when troubles rise,
Use me up then turn their eyes.
An old rug worn, worn and thin,
Discard after strain and spin.
 
It’s not the years that mark my worth,
But the light I shine on this earth.
Yet in their eyes, I’m just a shade,
An empty echo lightly played.
 
Still, I hope to find my voice,
To inspire hearts, to lift, rejoice.
For time’s not counted by the stay,
But by the lives we touch each day.
