Discipline trends in the 1980s
a. Observe an instance in a classroom when a teacher
intervened to stop a conflict or disruptive situation. Respecting privacy, how
did the adult teach or fail to teach more appropriate social skills through the
intervention? Referring to ideas from the chapter, did the teacher use guidance
or traditional discipline? Why do you think so?
b. One issue raised in the debate of the obedience
discipline systems of the |1980s is the role of punishment. Interview a teacher
about what she considers to be the difference between guidance, discipline, and
punishment. When, if ever, does the teacher believe punishment is justified?
How do the teacher’s thoughts about each term compare to ideas from the
chapter?
