A Comparison of Discipline Models

Wong’s Pragmatic Classroom Kagan, Kyle, and Scott’s win-win discipline Morrish’s Real Discipline
Compare and Contrast • Students are given the choose to what they feel is good for them to do.
• Students, teacher and parents are involved in the rule making.
• Help students understand each other’s responsibilities along with what the teacher’s responsibilities are. • Discipline is something that the win-win problem doesn’t do to students.
• Corrects the situation which allows the students to come up better actions which will result in acceptable behavior. • According to Morrish’s real discipline children can only learn SELF DISCIPLINE through experience.
• Morrish further states that when children enter school they do not have the knowledge on behaving properly.
• With the Three theories they all have the similarity that the teachers and students are involved in the learning process of the required discipline.
Strengths • Students, Teachers and parents all work together to establish the rules to have a better school experience. • Teachers help students behave which is acceptable behavior to their teacher.
• Win-win discipline is to help students develop log-term, self-managed responsibility. • Morrish rewards occasionally the students for behaving correctly.
• Morrish gives students courage that they may not have when working through issues that are sensitive.
•
Weakness • There is too much compromise between teacher and student when establishing the classroom rules.
• Teachers are too limited on what they can do to prevent disruptions. • The program is most effective if it is implemented from the first day of school until the last day of school. • Morrish overstates the role of the teacher. “The because I said so” response.
• Morrish believes that teachers who praise children to build up their self-esteem actually do more harm than good.
• Morrish is against giving students the freedom to choose.

Advantages • I find many advantages. With this approach teacher, parents, and students work together and all know what is expected at any given time.
• Students become more responsible.
• Developing and following rules help prepare the students for their future. • Students who willing participate in the learning process and help to create their own discipline solutions understand how to make correct decisions in the future.
• Win-Win helps students set goals for themselves and obtain them in their future. • The teacher needs to determine how they want their classroom to behave and TEACH the class how to behave.
• Morrish teaches students how to behave properly.
• Morrish also requires students to be courtesy and considerate.
Disadvantages • It is hard to correct a student’s behavior because positions are neither right nor wrong.
• This method could lead to selfishness among the students that are involved. • The win-win Strategies to be followed by teacher, student, and Parent. It says that with in the first weeks the teacher needs to build an alliance with the parents. Unfortunately with the time of today teacher may not have the parent support that the teachers need to pull this strategy off. I some districts and classes this would work but not all. • The idea is presented to have students repeat a certain behavior until they have done it correctly.
• Morrish stated that the purpose of discipline is to have students do what they don’t want to do. This is problem some since he stated that most students don’t like to obey rules.
Agree or Disagree • There was much emphasize on the need to teach the student the desired behaviors. And we must remember if you want your class to run a certain way you must take the time to teach them how.
• I agree completely with the Wong’s. I believe that if you have a busy classroom. What I mean by that is have an assignment at the start of class I believe there will be less time for your students to misbehave. In many of my classrooms the teachers have the students set up the classroom rules. After the whole class is done with their rules the teacher has rules that they want in place. • There was much emphasize on the need to teach the student the desired behaviors. And we must remember if you want your class to run a certain way you must take the time to teach them how.
• I believe that over time this procedure will make students make better behavior choices that serve them and the class with benefit.

• There was much emphasize on the need to teach the student the desired behaviors. And we must remember if you want your class to run a certain way you must take the time to teach them how.
• I disagree with this Discipline. I believe that children do know how to behave although some rules need to be explained I feel that if a student helped establish the rules they would fully understand and be able to follow the rules that they helped establish. Although, I do agree with setting limits on behavior and not waver.
