Possible follow-ups

  • 1. Discuss the following:

    1. Is one's authority as a teacher undermined by seeking the aid of senior members of the staff in dealing with discipline problems?

    2. Is one ever justified in punishing a whole class for the misbehav­iour of one or two unidentified offenders?

    3. Discussions of discipline and control often focus on the negative question or sanctions. What possible strategies ("awards") are available for encouraging desired pupil behaviour?

    1. 2. Write up the role-play as a letter of the form teacher to her friend.

    2. NB: topics suggested for oral discussion may serve/be used as topics for home or class composition.
