The punishment is to give unpleasant psychological or physical stimulation to the students who violate the discipline, so as to reduce or curb the appearance of bad behavior. It is a compulsory corrective action. The benefits of punishment education mainly include the following two aspects:
1. Corrective function: teachers punish students when their behaviors are inconsistent with the requirements of the school, so that they can understand the boundaries of behavior, clarify the concept of right and wrong, and the relationship between rights and obligations, and enhance their sense of moral responsibility. This method is especially effective for students who refuse to mend their ways. It may be a waste of time to preach many times, but a severe punishment will make him unforgettable and brave after knowing shame. This is the educational effect of punishment.
2. Deterrence function: Students' knowledge, attitudes and concepts are mostly derived from indirect experience, not necessarily from direct experience of rewards and punishments. Students often get it indirectly by observing other people's behavior expressions and behavior results. If the teacher punishes the student for doing homework, other students will not dare to make the student's mistakes. Punishment maintains the majesty of the system, which also protects the realization of collective goals to a great extent.
