Behavior Management

 school teacher injured his back and had to wear a thin plaster cast
              around the upper part of his body. It fit under his shirt and was not
              noticeable at all. On the first day of the term, still with the cast under
              his shirt, he found himself assigned to the toughest students in school.
              
              Walking confidently into the classroom, he opened the window as wide as possible and then busied
himself with desk work. The classroom became a bit unruly and he admonished them. This happened several times.
              
              While he worked at his desk, the strong breeze from the window made his tie flap annoyingly. He kept
rearranging and rearranging the tie as the
              class raised its level of unruliness.
              
              Finally, becoming disgusted with the wayward tie, he stood up and took a
              big stapler off his desk and stapled the tie to his chest in several places.
              
               Discipline was not a problem from that day forth.
