Troublesome Teen
|
| A high school teacher had a particularly challenging time with Mark in class one day. Each time Mark acted out, Teacher 'T' responded with the following consequences, respectively. Consider the merits and shortcomings of the measures taken by the teacher: |
| MISBEHAVIOR | CONSEQUENCE |
| 1) Talking during discussion | 1) Verbal reminder not to talk |
| 2) Derogatory comment to peer | 2) Sent in hall |
| 3) Shoving peer while beginning to run lap | 3) Told he’d be sent to office if kept misbehaving |
| 4) Did only partial lap | 4) Told to complete lap |
| 5) Knocked opponent over during soccer game | 5) Given warning about consequence if it occurred again |
| You make the call! |
