With discipline a significant problem in most schools today, a relatively new idea known as "assertive discipline" is being viewed seriously as a possible answer. In McHenry high school, it is being tried as a possible system-wide means of classroom management. Assertive discipline is a relatively s|mple technique that is surrounded by a good amount of experience. This "no argument" form of management, basically involves a set of rules and consequences known and understood by all students. When a student violates one of the rules, the teacher simply writes the student's name on the board and continues with teaching the class. No time is wasted in a verbal harangue with the student.
