The headline reads: “Threat of punishment can deter bad behaviour”......well, who’d a thunk it!?!
I’m not kidding, but I don’t know why taxpayers put up with this kind of nonsense….. I DO wish that U.S. public schools would act on this research, not to speak of SDA schools, which seem infested with people who believe in “redemptive discipline”, AKA no discipline to speak of. It keeps the parents off your back, don’t you know? And if you’re willing to put up with bad behavior on the part of some students, your life at school may be a bit easier in the short run, as well. The long run? In the long run, we’re all dead….. Of course I may be overly cynical, but how does it look to you?
But enough of that, what about the research?
