This blog is mostly about teaching and learning English. I am a teacher educator in Singapore and I write for teachers, parents and anyone else interested in English education particularly at the primary school level.

Sometimes I have the urge to write about stuff from my everyday life and tell stories from my childhood. I often give in to these urges. Nobody has to read everything here. But as Lionel Shriver once wrote,
" Untold stories didn't seem quite to have happened."
Life does happen, so let the stories unfold...

Discipline without Stress article

I have referred to the work of Dr Marvin Marshall before. Here is a link to an excellent article about his approach to discipline. It's an oldie but goodie. You will get to understand the philosophy behind his thinking and learn what the approach is all about. Dr Marshall has generously allowed the sharing of this pdf article in his website, and when you get there, this is the subheading you should look for:

USING A DISCIPLINE SYSTEM TO PROMOTE LEARNING
Read how the
approach incorporates concepts of Stephen Covey, Abraham Maslow, Douglas McGregor,William Glasser, and W. Edwards Deming. In this featured Phi Delta Kappan article, learn how to promote both responsible behavior and academic achievement. The article can be downloaded, viewed, and printed in its ORIGINAL FORMAT by clicking on this PDF.


Discipline is an urgent issue now at home and in class, and Dr Marshall's approach may provide parents and teachers with another way to think about and implement disciplinary approaches.
