First, is it necessary? Teachers should judge whether they need to be punished according to the specific situation. Not all mistakes need to be punished. Some minor or not-so-bad mistakes can make children realize that they have done something wrong by reminding or hinting, so there is no need to use punishment.

Sometimes punishment is necessary, but because children sincerely realize that they are wrong and express their willingness to correct, teachers can give up punishment. This tolerance is also an education for students. It's best not to punish. When to use punishment and when not to use punishment, teachers need a proper balance.

When must punishment be used? First, children make more serious mistakes; Second, children have not fully realized the seriousness of their mistakes; Third, it has caused serious consequences. To meet these three conditions, it is necessary to give students who make mistakes a lesson, a wake-up call and a shock to their hearts through punishment.

Second, when? If necessary, teachers should also grasp the best opportunity for punishment. It is not appropriate to punish a mistake. In this way, students will think that this punishment is imposed on them by the teacher, which will often lead to serious resistance and fail to achieve the purpose of punishment.

When is the punishment better? In my opinion, after a student makes a mistake, the teacher should first talk to him calmly and patiently, and analyze the causes of the mistake and the adverse effects on himself, others and the collective with him, so that they can realize that they have indeed made a serious mistake and must bear the corresponding consequences, and must use certain behaviors to eliminate the adverse effects.

When students realize that punishment is necessary and that the punishment of teachers or collectives is not aimed at them, but only for their growth, it embodies a kind of responsibility and responsibility, which is the best time to punish.

Third, in what way? The choice of punishment should be decided according to the specific mistakes. With regard to the disciplinary measures, the Rules for Disciplinary Measures in Primary and Secondary Education (Trial) promulgated by the Ministry of Education has detailed provisions: naming and criticizing, written review, public service, appropriate penalty station, short-term suspension of classes, going home for training, and other disciplinary measures stipulated by school discipline and class rules.

But no matter what method is adopted, the punishment can never be corporal punishment, which is a principle that must be followed. In short, what kind of punishment is appropriate is a test of the wisdom of educators.

Fourth, how to deal with the aftermath? What to do after punishment, how to make education really go deep into the hearts of students who have made mistakes, also tests the educational art of educators. In a sense, education punishment is only a link in the process of education, and it is by no means the end of education, and it cannot be punished at once.

Therefore, after the punishment, teachers must talk to students in various ways, such as giving them encouragement, or giving comfort and encouragement through class meetings and appropriate activities, so as to avoid students' sense of inferiority or loneliness.

Let the students who make mistakes realize that punishment is really for their progress and growth. In the future, we should not only try to avoid making mistakes, but also take this mistake as a stepping stone to growth and greater progress. This is the purpose of education and punishment.
