[senco-forum] Exit cards

We use "Time Out" cards frequently here to good effect. If we feel that 
a student may abuse them, we have a book for them which we ask them to 
fill in with why they came out of the lesson. We then discuss this them 
later and provide appropriate support. Not fool - proof, but working 
well most of the time.

Subj: [senco-forum] Exit cards

I have 2 pupils in Year 9 for whom an EXIT card has been a real boon. 
They are using them 3 or 4 times a week I think -and I wondered if 
anyone else out there uses a similar thing and how often do pupils use 
them - they are to stop them getting too angry in lessons and causing a 
storm. One is a boy and the other a girl. I don't think 3 or 4 times a 
week is abusing the system - others may disagree. It's always the same 
lessons and the same teachers and the pupils find my or their Head of 
House and work quietly at the back of the room - or in my case, 
sometimes help younger pupils with their work.
Anyway, similar experiences gladly received.
Cheers
