Many philosophers believe discipline is essential to education, but there are numerous arguments over how and to what extent discipline should be implemented. One system of discipline that has been highly controversial as of lately is the No Nonsense Nurturer (NNN) model, adopted by KIPP charter schools. In this paper I will put philosophers John Locke and Alfred Whitehead in conversation with KIPP’s NNN model, and explain why I think it is an effective disciplinary system. I will do so by describing NNN model is and explain why KIPP chose to adopt it as its disciplinary system. I will then present Locke’s position on discipline in education in order to illuminate how he would likely to respond to the NNN model. Next I will present Whitehead’s position on discipline, and how he would likely feel about NNN. Finally I will present my position on discipline in education and explain why I think the NNN model is effective, and how it could be made even more effective with minor modifications. …show more content…

The NNN model was created by The Center for Transformative Teachers, with the purpose of enabling educators with disciplinary procedures for effective classroom management. The NNN model is based around routine and establishing clear expectations for both the educator and student. It is made up of four steps: precise directions, positive narration, providing consequences, and building relationships with students. The model was created specifically for children from underserved communities, which is why KIPP, a national college-preparatory charter system put in place to serve students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, chose to adopt the

In America, people talk amongst themselves about wealthy and successful people and during the discussion many think of people who have been educated in a traditional schooling system. John Gatto argues in his article “Against School” that this traditional schooling is indeed not necessary to end up educated and successful. Through the use of rhetorical strategies, such as his personal experiences, expert testimony, and anecdotes, Gatto backs up and argues in points. Gatto begins his article by talking about his personal experiences as a teacher and how the education system let him down. Gatto states “The obligations to amuse and instruct myself was entirely my own, and people who didn’t know that were childish people.”

Everything from class management to even the intention of teaching were rarely present. The ratio of kids to students was overwhelming. Something that we have learned doesn’t help the teacher focus on the individual needs of the students, nor the student learn. If going by Bronfenbrenner’s theory, and how from the interactions closes to us, to all the way to the law of the land affects a person, these children had a disadvantage from begging to end. The worse of it all, was that it was projected in to the future that the situation wasn’t going more suitable, but that their children will also experience the

The first interaction that begins to unveil this reality is with a kid named Clarrise who describes schools as a place “ to get people together and then not let them talk… just run the answers at you” (27).

They kill each other ”(27). This proves that the school system doesn’t teach the right morals and is designed to produce controlable and dull people for the government’s

The two have very separate experiences that heavily influence their specific opinions on multiple topics in education. These separate ideas on how children ought to be educated are almost polar opposites in every way, but no matter what, the goal always has been and always will be to do the best thing they can do for a child so the child will become a strong, functioning adult despite their circumstances. Powell and Montessori have very different opinions when it comes to respect, structure, and children.

The United States’ school system is based on compulsory education laws which required children from 6 to 16 years of age to assist public or private school, for a certain number of years (“Compulsory Education”, 2015).

The essay, The Seven Lesson Schoolteacher, by John Taylor Gatto addresses educational curriculum with a cynical truth that transpires around the United States. His brutal honesty grasps the reader by using common sense and a hint of sarcasm to appeal to humor. The main point of his argument in my perception, states that we must develop children to be critical thinkers and not always agree with authority. By allowing the schooling in a child’s development expecting them to not question an adult’s words does lead to a population that has accepted being dumbed down. Following what has been indicated, a direct quote positions people deprived forever of finding the center of their own special genius (Gatto, part III, pars 3).

Many of their principles align with my teaching philosophy as well as my classroom management preferences. For example, on the very first day of school, my students and I will work together to develop a behavior contract that will contain the rules/norms of our classroom. We will brainstorm ideas together on an anchor chart, and then I will consolidate these responses into cohesive phrases. Once the “published” copy of the behavior contract has been presented to the students, and no changes need to be made, each student will sign the contract, indicating that they plan to abide by these rules every day, and if they make a poor choice, they accept the consequences that are to follow. The consequences for the broken rules/norms will also be discussed as a class.
