Thats an interesting question. By nature I don't like disciplining adults, but then again, if you don't, they get lazy, talk and you can't bring out the best in them. If they are taking is lax and not respecting each other it can lead to serious injury or even death. They clearly aren't tired enough. Increase their workout. It will take the steam out of them. For kids, you can talk and teach about behavior, but most adults find it pretty demeaning. I don't talk to adult students about behavior unless they are an advanced student who I care about and give them advice I know they can handle and will make them stronger. Its definately a difficult balance. The best I can think of is to be consistant with the rules and lead by example. If I break the rules in class, I follow the same punishment as students. Push up etc. Make sure its not a clash of egos, but rather the discipline of the school helping everyone, yourself included. |
