If you read this piece too quickly, misconceptions of backwood policies of hillbillies are again reinforced. The key to classroom control is a corporal matter.
BUT...
If you put aside your preconceived stereotypes and self-aggrandizing tendencies and look at what the article is saying. You need magic dust to KEEP a classroom under control. Fortunately he provides the recipe.
It's a dash of parental involvement plus a strong dose of classroom leadership coming from an educator that is not handcuffed by micromanagement from above. Kids feel why bother listening to their teacher or principal because they are not the ones who write the disciplinary check.
The paddles are put away and they should be, not because of litigious legislation but we should take a page from MOUNTAINEER handbook about all being on the same page.
