The Boycotter
Strategies in Action
Teacher: "David . . . if you choose not to do your work now, you'll need to do it at recess."
David: "It's not fair." He folds his arms and sulks.
Teacher: "Perhaps not, but that's your choice."
She walks away, giving David take-up time. Grumpily, David resumes his work half a minute later when he thinks she's not watching (though she can still see him in her peripheral vision). Just after the recess bell rings, she speaks to him again.
Teacher: "I'm glad you made the right choice, David." She pats his arm as he goes off to play.
