Hi all,
This time I find myself on Louis's side. I'm not sure I would handle
the situation as he did, but I'm certainly not sure that the typical way
that I handle such situations allows for much learning beyond the "don't get
caught" mentality. If we can help a student place their behavior against
the overall context of their lives, I think true learning can occur, and
teaching about the ethics of classroom work is something that all of us do.
