Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

It is important for a teacher to address minor indiscretions as it could lead to bigger problems in the future. However, dealing with it privately with the student is the best approach as it minimizes embarrassment for the student and allows for a more constructive conversation about the behavior. This approach also helps to maintain a positive relationship between the teacher and student. Ignoring the behavior (choice A) is not a solution and may even worsen the situation. Dealing with it publicly (choice C) may embarrass the student and could lead to resentment. Sending the student out of the classroom (choice D) can also lead to resentment and does not address the behavior.
