You are sitting in the workroom of your school with a faculty member who has just said, "I got sick of the students' continually talking today, so I fixed them. I doubled their homework assignment. I had assigned the odd problems at the end of the section, and now they get to do all the problems."
You comment courteously, "I'm not sure that's a good idea." "Why not?" your colleague retorts. "It stopped the talking." Using classical conditioning as a basis for your response, explain why using homework as a form of punishment is not a good idea. What will be an ideal response?
