2. Harry Wong Says
The vast majority of the behavior problems in the
classroom are caused by the failure of students to
follow procedures and routines, which in turn are
caused by teachers who do not have procedures
and routines.
Effective teachers MANAGE their classrooms with
procedures and routines.
Ineffective teachers DISCIPLINE their classrooms
with threats and punishments
