Jane Nelson, Lynn Lott and Stephen Glenn: Positive discipline
Emphasise caring, mutual respect, encouragement, teach skills needed for successful lives and conduct class meetings.
This aspect of education is likely to be one of the most dreaded among teachers because: 1. It can take an incredible amount of effort. 2. We fear being rejected by the students. 3. We are uncertain as to what the most effective methods would be in various situations. 4. When the outcome of an action is everything short of what we intended, we lack the self-confidence to pursue subsequent issues.
Four common needs expressed in behavior:1 1. Attention (the student feels neglected by others) 2. Power and control (the student feels inferior to others) 3. Revenge (the student feels put down by others) 4. Helplessness (student feels uncared for by others)

This is a "logical consequence," and therefore appropriate, as long as the teacher strikes the right tone by saying that she wonders whether the boy is "ready to continue in 2nd grade" and suggesting that therefore "it might be better for [him] to try and go back to kindergarten for a while."
