My school (secondary) doesn't have a school-wide policy on behaviour, so everyone comes up with their own. I have a system whereby students get a warning the first time they do something they ought not to be, then consequences escalate, until the student is removed. Obviously if the incident is serious, then I remove straight away.
Today on of my Yr 10s said she'd work better if she was allowed to work off her warning, and that most people allow this. I don't want to, I think doing work doesn't excuse the fact someone was talking over me. Plus the subjective nature: does doing 5 questions but getting them all wrong warrant a clean slate compared to doing only two questions but getting them right.
Do you let students work off warnings or consequences? I reward all good things even if they've already earned sanctions as well.
Whether you're a permanent teacher, supply teacher or student teacher, you'll find others in the same situation on our Staffroom forum.

I agree with you. No earning off warnings or sanctions. I had this with a student yesterday. She’d come to me and made a very good apology for her behaviour earlier in the day. I thanked her for her apology and told her to go to her detention and then we’d draw a line under the incident. She made it very clear that she had expected her apology to mean that she didn’t have to go to detention.
