Addressing classroom behavior effectively requires understanding rather than punishment. When asked about handling misbehavior, I emphasized the importance of empathy and connection. Like a doctor diagnosing a patient, teachers should seek to understand the reasons behind a student’s actions before responding. By modeling kindness and patience, educators can show they are in charge and build positive relationships with students, fostering a supportive learning environment.
