Put-Ups From Rose Ingraldi, a senior English/secondary education major at Rowan University: "I decided to use the 2 put-up rule when I start teaching my own class. This rule states that if you put down or say something mean to a fellow student, you must give them 2 put-ups (say 2 nice things about that student). A teacher friend of mine came up with this idea and has used it with elementary students as well as high school seniors. It really cuts down on put downs and goes along with the saying, 'if you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all."
