About the Author Thomas Robertson holds a Bachelor's degree in Human Development from Purdue University and a Master's degree in Curriculum and Instruction from Lincoln Memorial University. He taught music, Spanish, and daycare in the United States. He now lives in Korea where he teaches English as a second language. His present work with an upper elementary class of boys has been “threatening his sanity and his job,” as he puts it. When “nothing short of capital punishment” seemed to do the trick, he reached back to his experience of positive classroom discipline and found it effective. He concludes that “No disciplinary technique gets emphasized in education class like positive reinforcement, and with good reason. However, no disciplinary technique gets neglected in the actual classroom like positive reinforcement.” From 1998 to 1999, while employed as a public school substitute teacher, he published 49 articles on the topic of classroom discipline at Suite101. This e-book is gleaned from the best of them. Thomas can be found on the Internet at several web addresses.
