Morgantown Learning Academy is a community of children and adults who spend many hours together each day. In order to ensure the safety of all, to create an atmosphere that builds respect for others, and to teach responsibility for one's own actions, the school uses a positive approach to discipline. Corporal and psychologically abusive statements are considered inappropriate and are not used. Children are reminded of rules in positive ways: the reasons for rules are explained and the children are given support to resolve conflicts and solve problems as independently as possible. When necessary, the children are redirected to more appropriate activities. Students are included in the process of establishing limits and expectations, as well as the consequences for inappropriate behavior. Teachers take care to set classroom limits and expectations that are appropriate for young children.
