Punishments

[bushido_man96]

sometimes i have them back against the wall in a sitting on an invisable chair position , knees 90 degrees and their hands on their heads. This usually sorts them out for a while

I have called this iron chairs, or something to that effect. Good exercise.

Show them that with hard work, comes reward but with foolishness, comes consequence. Making a student execute difficult and exausting tasks works best for me (carrying water buckets, rigorous acrobatics).

I was never a big fan of physical punishments other than pushups or jumping jacks. Young kids and parents can too easily misinterpret punishments as abuse, especially if it holding a stance or endless repetitions of something. It's not the military. Other than the above, I would have students sit out a fun activity or simply tell them to come back tomorrow, when hopefully they are more willing to listen.

Also, you must look at things from the students perspecitve. Try to decide why they are acting up and whether or not it should result in punishment.
