I use Plan A when I impose my will... I do this sometimes when I feel like students are being disrespectful because I'm the adult and they're the student, but this does not usually work for all students, especially the challenging ones. It leads to challenging behavior from them.
Plan A is convenient and not something we should use. However, Plan B is something we should use. It focuses on actual collaborative problem solving and not just giving in. I think this would work best in my secondary classroom because this is something I can do with other teachers, their parents, and actually have meaningful dialogue with students to come up with solutions to help avoid this in the future instead of just simply reprimanding.
