There are many different methods of classroom management style. They fall on a spectrum from laisse-faire, which involves little teacher involvement, to an authoritarian style where the teacher is the mighty authority in the class. I doubt that many teachers are far at either end of the spectrum and instead cluster in the middle. There are advantages and disadvantages to any learning style in part due to multiple intelligences. A teacher's style reflects that person's learning style, culture, etc. Students with different MI's or a different family life will have a difficult time learning from that teacher.
I enjoyed the scenario discussion at the end of the lesson. It was very thought-provoking to be placed in an uncomfortable situation and having to come up with the best plan possible to handle it. I definitely believe that it must be difficult to quickly process what to do when two students are fighting in the classroom. I think that the table discussions were very valuable.
