[www.keralites.net] West Baltimore school Replaced Punishment With Meditation And THIS Happened

 

Robert W. Coleman Elementary School in West 

Baltimore  Replaced Punishment With Meditation And

THIS Happened!

At most elementary schools, bad behavior lands you in the principal's office. Not atRobert W. Coleman Elementary School in West Baltimore, though. No, staff there handle troublemakers a little differently.

At Robert W. Coleman, kids who misbehave get sent to the 'mindful moment room' – a relaxing environment filled with soft cushions and pink Himalayan salt lamps.

Apparently it's working; in the 2013/2014 school year, the school handed out a grand total of zero suspensions.

"Instead of the students fighting or lashing out, they started to use words to solve their problems,said Ms. Thompson, principal at Robert W. Coleman.

According to Andres Gonzalez, kids are even taking their meditation skills with them when they leave school.

"We've had parents tell us, 'I came home the other day stressed out and my daughter said, Hey mom, you need to sit down. I need to teach you how to breathe,'"Gonzalez said.

 As of 2014, 90 kids enrolled in the extracurricular yoga classes, also provided by Holistic Life Foundation. When choosing kids, staff focused on those with anger issues and/or low self-esteem.

[www.keralites.net] Enjoy for the Pun of it...

 

Enjoy for the Pun of it.

Lightning sometimes shocks people... because,

      it just doesn't know how to *conduct itself*...

A prisoner's favourite punctuation mark is the period...

       it marks the end of his *sentence*...

A rule of grammar... double negatives are a *no-no*...

Sleeping comes so naturally to me... I could do it with my *eyes closed*...

Atheists don't solve exponential equations

       ... because they don't believe in *higher powers*...

It's raining cats and dogs... well, as long as it doesn't *reindeer*...

I relish the fact that you've *mustard* the strength to *ketchup* to me...

My new theory on *inertia* doesn't seem to be gaining *momentum*...

The man who survived mustard gas and pepper spray

       is now a *seasoned veteran*...

What did the grape say when it got stepped on... nothing,

       but it let out a little *whine*...

If you don't pay your exorcist... do you get *repossessed*...

Pencils could be made with erasers at both ends...

       but, what would be the *point*...

I was arrested after my therapist suggested

       I take something for my *kleptomania*...

A hungry traveller stops at a monastery and is taken to the kitchens.... a brother is frying chips. "Are you the friar?" he asks. "No. I'm the *chip monk*" he replies...

Yesterday I accidentally swallowed some food colouring... the doctor says I'm OK, but I feel like I've *dyed* a little inside...

What's the definition of a will... it's a *dead giveaway*...

Two peanuts were walking in a tough neighbourhood

       and one of them was *a-salted*...
