Some things I've noticed from hanging out with kids but trying to refrain from telling them what to do or stop doing: - They're less efficient but more generative - They invite you to see more of what they do - They less frequently try to use you as a weapon (e.g. "snitching")

These social negotiations can be REALLY stressful. I think a lot of adults who supervise children intervene by default because it does take pressure off the kids. But the stress is usually short-lived & as long as kids can escape/decompress as needed they seem to bounce back fast

Whatever can be learned with distress can be learned better without distress.

I think so, but I suspect the risk profile re: distress is worse when adults over-litigate children's negotiations before they've had a chance to see if they can work something out themselves, mostly because top-down imposed injustice feels worse than just about any conflict

Teachers shouldn't want to be top down police, nor rendered irrelevant. It's our job to strengthen the entire group & lead by example, not by decree. By offloading portions of "your" conflict-resolution & teaching & leading responsibilities — you're doing exactly that

Sounds like Scrum. Ever read Valve's employee handbook?
