Is Ms. Patterson's decision not to allow students to get a drink during class a reasonable one? Why or why not?
What will be an ideal response?
In refusing to allow her students to get a drink when they're thirsty, she creates a classroom environment that is highly autocratic. Ultimately this is not an effective instructional strategy, in large part because it undermines students' sense of self-determination. A more effective approach might be to engage her students in a discussion of the pros and cons of getting drinks during class time and have the class as a whole establish a procedure that will not disrupt learning. Such an approach will help students understand the reasons for, and thereby help them to adhere to, any limits on their classroom behavior.
