Re: Discipline for Dummies I was advised a long time ago that you should go in hard and sharp at the beginning, allowing yourself to soften once you have established who is in charge.
Not easy advice to follow, but in fact very effective. The same principal is advisable in offices.
I also think that summer school teaching is more difficult as it is for so short a time, the youngsters see it as holiday, and there is not really a disciplinary structure. |
