Praise and punishment are indispensable educational means in the work of class teachers. Praise art praise is the most important and effective means of education. The purpose of praise is to use it as a positive strengthening means to affirm students' good thoughts and behaviors. Appropriate and timely praise can not only let students see their own strengths and advantages, but also stimulate their enterprising and self-confidence, and also play a guiding role in the thoughts and behaviors of other students. However, many class teachers praise students too little, as if the teacher's words are valuable, and it is easy to keep his mouth shut. There are also some teachers who praise the same thing and fail to achieve the best results. The author believes that the class teacher should not be stingy with his praise and praise. The students have made progress, so we might as well praise them. Praise is the ladder of students' progress, and students will make continuous progress on the ladder of praise.

Praise should be realistic. The class teacher's praise for students should not be exaggerated or belittled, but should be realistic, measured, true and credible. Praise should seize the opportunity. The head teacher should be a caring person of the students, a careful person at work, and be good at discovering students' small progress and understanding their advantages and disadvantages. Students show signs of progress, and the class teacher should give them timely and appropriate praise. This is like striking a match. When just striking a match, people often use their palms to protect it, because the flame is weak at first and can't stand the impact of airflow. When students, especially underachievers, show signs of progress, the class teacher must be very careful to protect this small flame of progress from being extinguished. Praise is a very good way. If you can't find the bright spot in students for a while, you should create opportunities for students to shine. For example, ask a simple question that students can answer in class for students to answer, and the teacher will praise it in time after the answer comes out. In addition, if students have nothing to praise at the moment, they can be encouraged to be proactive by praise. For example, if a student wears a new dress, the class teacher may wish to praise his or her dress. Students can say "I am really energetic today" when they have a haircut. You know, praise has a positive effect in people's minds, and this positive effect will have a chain reaction. Perhaps because of a compliment, students pay attention to the class, speak actively and do their homework seriously, which has caused more bright spots, and these bright spots have also become opportunities for the class teacher to praise. Therefore, the role of a praise or praise should not be underestimated, perhaps because of a praise, a virtuous circle of students is formed.

Verbal praise is a common praise method used by class teachers ―― standing in front of the podium, telling a student what he has done and what he has achieved, and then saying that everyone should learn from him. This kind of praise is simple and convenient, but it is monotonous and the incentive effect is not the best. Class teachers should explore more and more novel ways to praise students in order to achieve better results.

In addition to verbal praise, singing praise can also be used to praise. If the head teacher is loud, the head teacher can choose a song for the praised students; If the head teacher is tone deaf and ashamed to speak, he can organize the whole class to sing a song for the students with good grades. Singing and clapping will have a stronger incentive. This method is more effective for extroverted students.

Celebrating the success of French students is the proudest thing for parents. If a student in the class does a good deed and gets good grades, the class teacher or class cadre will write a letter of commendation and send it to the student's home. There will be light on the parents' faces, students will be happy, the family atmosphere will be more harmonious, students will be more encouraged and the incentive effect will be more lasting. This method is most suitable for underachievers and students with nervous family relations because of poor academic performance.

Of course, don't give praise indiscriminately. It depends on the temperature, find the right time and give full play to the incentive role of praise.

"Award" self-selected praise method Students have their own special hobbies, especially the underachievers. Therefore, when the underachievers make progress, let the praised students choose their favorite way as praise. For example, some students like to watch football matches, so we might as well organize students to watch a football match as a reward. Of course, this kind of praise is not to accommodate students, but to choose a meaningful way to motivate students.

Education without punishment can be said to be incomplete education. Because, first, "people" are not completely conscious (many people don't admit this), especially underage young students; Second, due to objective reasons, "people" will make all kinds of mistakes, and sometimes they will make mistakes. I didn't realize that I had made a mistake, and I didn't know that I had made a mistake until I took revenge objectively. For students, this objectivity should include teachers. In order to remind students not to make similar mistakes next time, teachers must punish them. Therefore, students who violate the rules and regulations must be punished appropriately, which is beneficial to those who are punished and is also a protective measure for others. In schools, punishment is a routine means to ensure the normal education and teaching order.

The art of punishment

Punishment is not an end, but a means. The purpose of punishment is to tell students that it is wrong to do so and warn them not to make the same mistake again in the future. If this goal is achieved, punishment will do. For example, Wei Shusheng's "singing" and "writing expository essays" are both good "punishment methods". What I want to point out here is that many class teachers now punish improperly, or punish improperly, and corporal punishment happens from time to time, which is something that every class teacher must avoid.

Punishment is a way of class management, which is beneficial to class collective construction. If it is not used well, it will not only have no positive educational effect, but also have side effects. Therefore, we should pay attention to several principles when using punishment means.

Principle of moderation If a student makes a mistake, the class teacher should give appropriate punishment according to the nature, degree and influence of the mistake and the students' own understanding and the school's disciplinary regulations on violations of discipline and discipline. "Sentencing" is too heavy, and students are dissatisfied, which will lead to rebellious psychology; "Sentencing" is too light to educate the parties and serve as a warning.

At the same time, the principle of moderation has another meaning, that is, the punishment means need not be abused. If the head teacher punishes the students easily, making them feel insecure and afraid, the class will become a "labor camp". Over time, the punishment will lose its effectiveness, the class teacher will lose its prestige, and the class will not only be poorly managed, but also "the world will be in chaos" sooner or later.

The principle of timeliness means that students make mistakes and class problems, and the class teacher must deal with them in time. Because students are very nervous after making mistakes, waiting for the teacher to deal with them. At this time, if the class teacher gives timely treatment, it is easy to receive better educational results, and at the same time, it can control the "situation" in time to avoid proliferation. If a student makes a mistake, the class teacher does not deal with it in time, delays it for a long time, and does not "close the case", the students will think that the class teacher is incompetent and has no choice. If the class teacher takes a long time to deal with it, the students will have no memory of their mistakes, and the handling will not play an educational role.

Principle of Justice When punishing students who make mistakes, the head teacher must adhere to the principle of justice, treat every student in the class equally and avoid favoritism. If the punishment is unfair, it will reduce the prestige of the class teacher, damage the authority of the class rules and discipline, and the class management will also be greatly affected.

Emotional principle punishment is a compulsory punishment means, but it does not rule out the role of emotion. The head teacher must explain the basis of punishment before punishing the students; After the punishment, we should do a good job in ideological work, talk with the punished students and enlighten them, so that the punished students feel shocked from the heart and believe that the teacher loves himself before punishing himself.

No matter what form of punishment, it must be aimed at caring for the educated and arousing their self-knowledge. If you violate this point, any form of punishment is unacceptable. Penalties that hurt students' self-esteem and are not conducive to their physical and mental health must be resolutely abandoned.
