Content: A good teacher helps your child learn right from wrong with love and understanding. Teachers also have the opportunity to change behavior rather than feel that it defines the child, according to Education.com. A harsh teacher might make your child feel like she's getting in trouble for everything and that there's no point in trying to behave. Children who are mistreated are more likely to suffer developmental issues that include behavior. Rewards and Punishments
Behavior modification by teachers is important for keeping control of students. Schools that take into account age and the severity of the offense before carrying out consequences are more likely to see changes in behavior. If a student turns in an assignment late, his grade is docked. Next time, the student will likely be motivated to finish on time. Students caught throwing food in the cafeteria who are responsible for cleaning up the entire floor after lunch are less likely to participate in a food fight the next time around. Positive reinforcement -- rewarding kids for doing what they should -- is also a powerful motivator for helping students engage in desired behaviors.
