As in all things physical discipline depends totally on the circumstances in which it is used.

I have several classroom techniques that I use to manage my classroom without resorting to physical contact.

Warnings...do you want teacher to be angry?
teacher is getting angry!
My students know that if I tell them to be quiet and they do not listen they will be facing any one of several disciplines....expulsion...they cant come back until mom or dad comes to talk to me(extreme cases only used once), chair over head (of course I tell them exactly what will cause a chair to be held over head...no book...no pencil.pen etc...I keep track and they all know it.)

I had a couple of students plug their noses when I came into class and make stinky teacher motions....a quick slap upside the head quickly put an end to this behaviour. Interesting to note the two students that did this became two of my best students, eager to learn and please....the previous teacher who never disciplined hated them..


Discipline depends on many things...the teacher...the students...the infraction...I do things here I could never get away with in Canada but I never strike them with a closed fist...I am always smiling when I do any physical punishment and I always make sure it will not physically damage the student.

it has its time and place but like all things it can be abused

My fave is for the sleeping student.

I hold me finger up to my mouth so the stuents are quiet, than sneak over next to the sleeper. I hold my elbow over their head than yell 'wake-up'! Their head jumps up and bangs into my arm. The students love it. The kid just rubs his head once or twice, but nobody sleeps again, and if someone does, othere students point them out. (used on Uni kids).
