Ideas for bringing peace into the classroom:
This, quoted from the National Peace Institute course, "Teachers Without Borders":
"What the flower? One teacher spoke of how, in her work with high school students, their use of profanity, (the f-bomb) was getting on her nerves. She asked them if they would substitute the f-bomb with the word flower. Thus, instead of saying "What the f.....?!" They would say "What the flower?
She said that, much to her surprise, they really took to this practice. Not only did it solve the issue of profanity, but it also made them smile every time they said it, and it brought more joy into the classroom."
Small, simple, inexpensive ways to change the paradigm. I think this is flowering cool!
