No More Recess For You!!

Unlike most classrooms in my school, I have decided again a behavior chart. I hate the fact that most are on display, forcing the students to dwell on their behaviors. Also, I feel that students begin to act in a way to receive the reward or dodge the punishment. This isn't really doing much in my opinion. What happens the next year when the students aren't rewarded/punished with the same reward or consequence?  Sounds messy to me. 

My biggest pet peeve?  When teachers take away recess for ANY behavior. You didn't complete your homework? No recess!!  You spoke out during class?  No recess!!  Kids need recess!  There are so many other ways to work on classroom management. If a student is talking, stand next to them, look at them, etc.  If a more serious problem arises, I feel that it should be talked about as a whole. Your classroom is a community and the whole community needs to know what's acceptable/unacceptable. For example, a student rips up a book and doesn't tell anyone. Instead of pointing fingers and taking away recess from one student, talk about it during class so that everyone knows not to do this. As teachers, things may seem very obvious to us... But as students, they don't always know what is expected.
