Net provides a voice for teachers everywhere.
Post your own letter to the editor below. The recent posts on the Texas Teachers Net Chatboard regarding corporal punishment have made me reflect back to what the Brain Compatible gurus say about threat in the classroom. I have seen students that are already so angry in the classroom only become more out of control when they are threatened by the teacher. I think part of classroom management is controlling the situation and defusing the problem before it escalates. Continuing to be confrontational with a student only makes matters worse.
