+Miss Honey’s Behavior Management Procedures and Policies

There were no Behavior problems with the students in the classroom, however, it was clear that Miss Honey had policies and procedures in effect. The students did what was asked of them the

first time that it was asked. The students felt safe in the classroom with Miss

Honey, especially because they feared Miss Trunchbull so much.

Desk Layout- the students were in groups so they could work together and socialize with one another. We have learned in many classes that sitting in groups is beneficial and can reduce behavior problems.

Child Friendly Classroom- based off of the classroom set up and projects on the wall it is clear that the students’ interests and age were taken into consideration.

+Miss Trunchbull’s Behavior Management The only way that Miss Trunchbull deals with behavior

issues is to hurt the students emotionally or physically. All students fear Miss Trunchbull and her punishments.

Students may receive punishments even when they do nothing wrong from Miss Trunchbull. Matilda got put in the chokey because her dad sold Miss Trunchbull a faulty car.
