Advantage: this theory allows educators the ability to effectively gain control over a potentially hostile and chaotic environment and develop it into a safe and thriving learning center for their students.

Disadvantage: educators can come off as too authoritative - thereby intimidating and restricting the learning freedom of their students.  Also, teachers may become too focused on the poorly performing students and forget to reinforce the rest of their students - thereby negatively effecting them and possibly inciting negative backlash from them.

Assertive Discipline is a systematic and objective way of ensuring a teacher-controlled classroom.  Teachers are assertive in exacting disciplinary actions and maintaining behavior amongst their students, while also developing positive relationships with their students.  Ultimately, the goal is that no student should a). prevent teachers from teaching and b). stop their peers from learning. Assertive discipline allows teachers to put a stop to this negative behavior and foster a safe and positive learning environment for student development.
