When the chips are down

The video : When the chips are down was very inspiring. We should remember that the points brought out in the video were just suggestions. We should not be to hasty and abandon the things that has been working for us all these years. We can look at different ways of punishing a child or student that will give the best result. Punishment is like teaching, we have to try different methods to see which will be the best for your class. The psychologists said we should not spank / paddle a child are we going to stop spanking/ paddling because the psychologist said so? The poker chip idea is very interesting but we should remember that this is what motivational speakers does, it does not mean that you have to follow their suggestions.
