The vast majority of behaviour problems in the classroom involve minor breaches of discipline.
These incidents frequently originate in the classroom situation itself and are within control of the teacher.
Disciplinaire problems in the classroom are symptoms of underlying weaknesses in total learning situation.

Mr. Grimes, mathematics teacher, is displeased with the progress of his 9th grade class in mathematics.
"You see what low grades you got on your weekly mathematics tests? More than half of ya failed! Most of those who passed just got by. Nobody had 100%; this is the poorest class I've had in a long, long time. Most of you have no foundation at all. And the troubles with your attitude! You don't pay enough attention in class. You don't do enough work outside of it. You don't know what the word 'Study' means. You haven't the slightest idea. Don't you realize mathematics is an important subject?

I tell you right now that unless you get over your lazy habits, and come up to the standards I've set for this class, many of you will have the pleasure of repeating this course next semester."

"I have to leave for a few minutes. Now I want you to open your books, work out the correct solutions to the problems you missed."

"I can't make any sense out of this, i might as well quit."
"Gee, you never picked up this third problem, it's a gyp!"
"He's got me scared to death, i'll just never pass this course!
what's the use of taking this stuff anyway? I'm scared to take my paper home!"
"He's just a sour puss!"
Hmm.

...Features the coming buyers market in automobiles then in new departments: the sports section. And finally if we don't run fresh out of time which quite likely we may, we'll have a piece on trade across the iron curtain in Europe.
Now: your tomorrow morning headlines tonight! Willis Overland cuts automobile prices 25$ to 270$ The top cut is on Willis Overland's well known "Jeepster".
Know you'll notice at once that while this is the second post war automobile price cut it is by far the biggest one.
General Motors in general cut prices between 10 and 20 dollars a car, also in the GM's case the price cut was definitely tied to a decline in payrolls. Under a contract the GM had with the union allowing payroll cuts in the event of a decline in the cost of lawyers took place.
in the Willis Overland case there is no such decline in payrolls this is a straight and deep price cut in a bid for more business this symbolizes an important turning point in the automobile industry from a sellers to a buyers market.

Clearly this is going to have tremendous psychological importance, this cut announced tonight.
