On Tuesday during second period, we were going over some American history. In this class there is a very intelligent young man name Jonathan. Jonathan is the “brains” of this class he knows the answer to EVERYTHING! Whenever Ms. Nunley needs an answer he knows whom to call to. Like many kids his age, whenever he knows an answer to a question he gets excited. During this class session he does get called on to answer many of the questions, because the other students did not know. So his mood is very exciting at the moment, but Ms. Nunley is not too proud with the class performance. So she gets down on them, but continue to ask questions and Jonathan continues to know the answer. So he does begin to get out of hand for example, if he raises his hand and she tries to go to other students first he makes the “Ohh ohh” noise and says, “I know, I know”. That does get annoying, but when she kicks him out the class for it I was disturbed. When other students does it she do not pay it that close attention, but instead of correcting him she automatically kicks him out. He sits in another classroom and fills out a discipline slip and is missing some instructions. I really was disturbed by this method of discipline and felt as if this could possibly affect him from wanting to engage and show that he does know the answer, if he feels as if she will kick him out of the class for it.
