John Lazares was a principal at Tom’s school. Tom went to Mr. Lazares’s office. He disciplined Tom, but he didn’t pay much attention. “If your teachers send you to my office, I’m going to call your mother. I’m going to say, The teacher are having problems with your son. Please come to school. I want you to go to classes with him.”

Suddenly Tom sat up in his chair. “Oh, no!” he said. “Don’t do that! I don’t want my mother at school! I’ll be good. I promise.”

Later Mr. Lazares thought about Tom’s words; “I don’t want my mother at school” “Hmm,” Mr.Lazares thought “Maybe I have a new way to discipline students”

In the United State, principals and teachers discipline students in several ways. If a student behaves very badly, The principal can suspend them. The students cannot come to school for one, two, or three days. They were happy. “A three day vacation” They thought.

A few day later, another boy was in Mr.Lazares’s office. The boy was not behaving in class. Mr. Lazares telephoned the boy’s parents “If you come to school with your son. I won’t suspend him” He said. The boy’s father came to school and went with his son to every class. Other students stared at the boy and his father. The boy was embarrassed. After that, he behaved better. Other students behaved better, too.

That year about 60 parents came to school with children who didn’t behave. The next year only a few parents had to come to school. The student were behaving better.
