Teachers need to discipline quickly and without too much distraction from the lesson. Sometimes direct discipline is unavoidable, but when disciplining teachers must waste as little valuable class time as possible. When disciplining students, teachers must let students know what they did and why it was inappropriate. If students want to, they should be allowed to express their feelings and give an explanation of why they behaved as they did. It is important that students know that they are being punished for their behavior and not for any other reason.
Respect is the key in classroom management.
When teachers and students show regard for the needs of one another it helps to prevent classroom management problems. When the respect does not occur, this is when discipline is necessary. Discipline should be handled in a considerate manner by not embarrassing the student but by giving the offending student a chance to explain themselves.
