They Can’t Read Our Minds

Jody has written:

…we have our expectations engraved in our consciousnesses. [Our students] don’t. That stuff goes off their screens so fast. I am much less personally insulted now than I used to be when they don’t appear to remember these important things. It’s my job to get the expectation back up on their screen – that’s all. They decide whether they will follow through or not….

I use this point to support my attempts at re-enforcing the message of my Rules Chart with the reality of my Consequences Chart.
