Exit Slip - Praise

Praises should be used as a method to replace punishment, as a superior way of provoking students to work harder. However, priases can be really dangerous in the sense that they can make students become dependent on external approval and acknowledgement. I believe praises should be done in regard to the work students do and not the students themselves. Ultimately, it should stimulate and promote a sense of self-acknowledgement that may eventually boost self-confidence and encourage self-encouragement. The strongest individuals are those who are independent of others physically and mentally. I wish to show my students how to value progression in their learning rather than the end-goal.
