Trial by Publicity
What is the right form of punishment? Is a particular form of punishment applicable to all students?
Punishment is a consequence of behavior that decreases the likelihood of repetition. Learning is said to be concomitant to punishment because there is a relatively permanent change in the behavior of the students. Students are not only intellectual but also social and emotional beings that is why committing mistakes happen.
Subsequent to these mistakes, what action should be done by the teachers to cover these up? Are you going to rebuke hardly a child immediately after his or her perceived mistake? Are you going to judge your students immediately without asking the real reasons of his actuation? Or will you give time and chance to speak out and ear out their side?
Ideally, the first thing to do is to talk to the students in private and ask them about the matter. It is important to note that we have to treat them as an innocent individual while we are interviewing for the reasons the led them for doing such actuations. Otherwise it will direct you to a wrong conclusion and unjust verdict. Deciding on what should be the corresponding action will be followed. Whether the students will be punished or not depends on the objective result of inquiry.
The Article VIII, Sec. 7, Code of Ethics for Professional Teachers, stated that “Under no circumstance shall a teacher be prejudiced nor discriminatory against any learner”. The statement is clear enough that made me wonder why is that there are teachers who easily get mad and forgot what they ought to be? Emotion dominates them. Their way of punishing the students is to judge them in public until the students involved became embarrassed.
Teacher should consider that the students have individual differences. Things said or done, especially in front of other people, may have different effects on the students. It can make or break them. It may bring constructive or destructive consequence to the behavior of an individual. Unfortunately, the latter is the most evident result. As such, we have to be cautious enough to be considerate on their feelings. Without doing so, it may result to the infliction of their self- esteem leading to the deterioration of their performance in academic and co-curricular activities.
As would be teachers, we must know the right way in dealing with the students. We cannot choose the pupils that we are going to teach, but we can choose the right principles on how we are going to teach and deal with them. They have different beliefs, attitudes and behaviors and understanding them is a big challenge for us.
