You are sitting in the workroom of your school with a faculty member who has just said, I got sick of the students' continually talking today, so I fixed them. I doubled their homework assignment. I had assigned the odd problems at the end of the section, and now they get to do all the problems.
  You comment courteously, I'm not sure that's a good idea.
  Why not? your colleague retorts. It stopped the talking.
  Using classical conditioning as a basis for your response, explain why using homework as a form of punishment is not a good idea.
 
  What will be an ideal response?
