There is no guarantee that a disruptive and aggressive child will give you an answer to a question like ‘Do you understand?’ After all, you are ticking them off. You will notice that examples in this chapter are long ones, rather than a couple of one-line ripostes. This is quite different from a brusque warning (‘Last warning, Liam!’). the intention is to give no idea of when you are going to stop. Other teachers may give a ticking off in tones of gravitas, raising guilt. Whenever you launch into a lengthy remonstration, all the culprit wants to know is when you are going to finish. This is a good feature of a ticking off. Sometimes the words matter less than the uncomfortable minute or two delivered with an appropriate tone of voice.
