How Do YOU Handle Classroom Behavioral Disruptions?

How Do YOU Handle Classroom Behavioral Disruptions? I don’t know about YOU, but I never enjoyed making that phone call home or even talking with the Dean about the misbehavior in my classroom.  Being a Libra I want no waves in my classroom or life.  I found if I gave my misbehaving students the choice of a call home, visit the Dean, or copying an essay most would choose to copy the essay…something like writing ‘I will not talk’ on the chalkboard in the good ole’ days.   The essay I have them copy is not just any old essay. ...
