There's a word for this in the academic literature. It's called "custodial pupil control." I just finished a paper on the subject that will come out as a book chapter next spring: "Current Threats to Humanistic Pupil Control."
Over here. LOL
Ooooo! From May!
Great.
Actually, I'm in a similar situation. Until further notice, we have to sit with our homerooms for lunch. I don't think the behavior has improved. It's not solving the problem. I can't talk to the friends I have in other homerooms anymore. Lunch is the only time of the day at school when we can socialize with our friends. And just how does this prevent kids from being in food fights or talking back to teachers? It doesn't add up. I'm a straight A student and I rarely get into trouble. Do you think it's fair that I (and all the other innocent ones) am punished?
