Tom, a 13-year-old boy, was sent to Mr Burton's
office; he talked in class and was often late.
Tom didn't pay much attention to Mr Burton's
punishments of having to stay late or do extra homework,
and Mr Burton was sure that Tom would be in trouble again
soon.
Then he told Tom; "If I have trouble
with you again, I'll phone your mother and ask her to come
to the school."
Suddenly Tom sat up in his chair and said;
"Oh no! Please don't do that! I'll be good; I promise."
Later Mr Burton thought about Tom's words
and realized that he might have a good way to discipline
difficult students.
Soon, another difficult student was sent
to him.
Mr Burton phoned the boy's mother and asked
her to come to school and sit with her son during each lesson.
The boy behaved better and so did other
children in the class.
In the first year 60 parents came to his
school, but in the second year only a few had to.
The students were becoming more polite and
better-behaved in class.
