People have different views on the topic of teaching good behavior to children. While some people consider punishment the best way to teach good behavior, I side with those who argue that rewarding them for their good behavior is a more effective method.
There are several reasons why people favor the view that children should be punished by their instructors for their unpleasant behavior. The main one would be that past punishments prevent future misbehavior. For example, when those who come late to school or break the guidelines are punished, it discourages them from doing it again. This leads to being careful with every lesson and action that has been taken at school. Moreover, universities and jobs all of them have their own requirements and laws. Early on, gaining more insights and building strong discipline helps children to adapt better to the real-world tasks.
In my view, however, rewarding children for their good behavior is beneficial in many ways. First and foremost, it motivates them to their lessons. In other words, when they complete their homework and are rewarded by their instructors with gifts like books, stickers, or small prizes, it will create a sense of achievement and encourage them to repeat it. This builds positive habits faster. Furthermore, rewarding strengthens relationships between teacher and children. When teachers punish them for some mistakes, next time children might feel threatened to ask questions or could not respond to questions even if they know the answer, whereas rewarding creates a positive learning environment. This leads to asking questions without fear and attendingthe private lessons.
In conclusion, although I recognized the potential benefits of punishing children to teach good behavior, especially in terms of gaining more experience about school rules and a range of other options, it seems to me that the overall impact of rewarding is more likely to be beneficial for the reasons stated above.
