⟩ Tell me where do you think reasoning should end and discipline should begin?
Every child is different and therefore the way to teach them varies as well. Of course, they are all in one class, so there must be some uniformity. When order needs to be restored, I must consider well - and quickly. Some children realize their mistake even with a single admonishment while others require more serious measures to understand the unsuitability of their activities. In general, there is not too much time to reason with children in class, as it disturbs the tempo of the class. I may try to speak with children during recess or after class if explanations are in order. Therefore, while it is of utmost importance to have a clear disciplinary plan, I realize I may have to be creative and flexible in some cases.
