The Sioux City Journal, WHOtv.com, Des Moines Register, and other newspapers around the country picked up a recent AP article written about the workshop on classroom management I did earlier this month at Drake University.
As I told the reporter, I'm not being mean or arbitrary by insisting that the students conform to my policies on attendance, coming to class on time, and turning in assignments when due. I just think it's better for them to learn good work habits in the classroom than to show up for work late the first week after graduation and get fired. My job is to help them be successful both in the class and in their careers.

Congrats!
I'm encouraged that your message is getting out. It needs to!
Keep creating,
Mike
