Teaching to optimize learning or control misbehavior? Scale of disruptive behavior in schools seriously underestimated

The true extent of poor pupil behavior in schools is seriously underestimated, according to an academic. The research raises the question of the extent to which there is a right to learn in classrooms. The researcher argues that behavior cannot be interpreted as satisfactory if some pupils are impeding the learning of others and if teachers are not able to teach the class in a way that focuses primarily on optimizing pupil learning rather than on control issues.http://feeds.sciencedaily.com/~r/sciencedaily/~3/Y...
