Practical Discipline (upper grades)

Sometimes discipline in the upper grades can present some dilemmas for the teacher. What discipline is effective and works? Should a teacher tailor the discipline to each student or should all suffer the same punishment across the board? Should all students suffer for one student’s misdemeanor? These and other questions often can create headaches for the teachers of older students. We would like to hear practical guidelines for discipline and principles that should direct whatever discipline is administered.
