And, why is it a dangerous and controversial, but common approach to dealing with agression? I am a first year teacher (blah, blah, blah) who tends to want to punish my students at the drop of a hat when aggression is shown. This is even when I know several of my students will punch my mouth loose, throw chairs, etc. Please help me deal with these students agression as I do not want to send them over the "edge."

I am writing a paper on ADHD and presenting this along with a "visual" as part of the presentation.
I want my viewers to be part of the presentation; As they would get the effect as though they were experiencing what a child may be hearing while in a classroom.

Any helpful ideas....the only one I have so far is having background music or similar ON while I am presenting the info..Can anyone come up with a better one?
Blessings-
Faith
