Apart from the mysterious date reference, so far, so good. Mr. Stone continued, &#8220;Positive reinforcement helps reinforce and shape behavior in the classroom. Games teach children proper behavior in a [...]]]></description>

Sadly, I happened to come across another example of folks perpetuating that very misinformation.

		<description><![CDATA[Over on Smart Classroom Management, the site where he presents tips based on his book, Michael Linsin offers three reasons for not using behavior contracts. After a brief introduction that is generally pretty accurate, he argues that (a) &#8220;behavior contracts label students,&#8221; (b) &#8220;external rewards are short term,&#8221; and (c) &#8220;follow through is a bear.&#8221; [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If it isn&#8217;t the most misunderstood concept in the analysis of behavior, &#8220;negative reinforcement&#8221; has got to be among the top two or three. (Suggest competitors in the comments!) People often misuse this term, employing it as a synonym for &#8220;punishment.&#8221; For grins, I located a couple of examples illustrating this problem. They follow: In [...]]]></description>
