Plan A is imposing your will upon the students. I find the phrase " because I said so" comes to mind. Thwarting your authority. Some students will accept this but the challenging students usually push back. At this point I think Plan A is something that should only be used in a life/ death/ safety situation.
Plan B- the collaborative approach while taking more time in the long run with save you a lot of stress and aggravation. It will help you maintain your learning environment and has a more positive outcome. Teaching is what we are doing and the importance of helping students learn life skills on how to handle their emotions and behaviors is one of them.
The difference between the two is Plan A is all about you being in control and Plan B is about giving the student control but guiding them in how to get there.
