The consequence itself is less important than the overall environment you create. If your students enjoy being in your classroom, and are sufficiently engaged, a simple time-out will be enough. You'll find a complete explanation of how to create leverage with your students, which will make enforcing consequences a lot easier, in the book. Thanks for your question. Michael Hi Caran,
