Being given the ice cream teaches the child that a tantrum will earn them another ice cream in future therefore behaviour increases. Desirable behaviour in children such as being polite, doing homework, helping with chores, being nice to siblings, and following authority, can also be modified through positive reinforcement of rewards. When a child does their homework, they will be allowed to watch TV, or a reward system where every time the child completes the chores they receive a star. Once they have earned the required amount of stars they then receive their reward. Another form is negative reinforcement where, by eliminating the aversive stimuli
For instance, Mr. Alexander was so thrilled a students’ newfound understanding of a problem that with a burst of excitement he punched his fist through his classroom window. His undying passion for math persuaded me to create the same amount of passion for it also―with less pain, but as time has passed this passion has faded along with my math smarts. “Courtney, I wish I could marry your brain!” was a declaration spoken from the mouth of a genius of a math teacher, Mr. Alexander, that came charging back into my memory in the third quarter of my AP Geometry class as I sat dumbfounded by the lack of knowledge I was apprehending from my then teacher, Mrs. Shackelford. By this time math had become my worst enemy and I hated it with a passion. Sorry about the negative diction I am professing towards math, but the truth is that I lost my love for it year’s ago―with the help of horrible instructors.
Perkins believes that by putting text into rhythm children are immediately becoming familiar with language (2008) and I believe that this makes it more fun for the children as they are able to join in and will remember how to count to twenty by remembering a simple rhyme.

This would make a happier, friendly environment for young students’ minds. The student store could even start selling gum to promote higher test scores for Iron Horse.

A handful of students mouthed off about how their junior English teacher, Mrs. Thornton, hardly ever gave out hard assignments. As class went on Mandrell was pelted with more and more complaints about how her class was stressing the students to a level where they could not really focus on their assignments. All the class came together in unison and agreed that she was assigning them too much work. After some serious thought Mandrell concluded that maybe a change in the way the class was taught would release some of the stress put on the students and take away the worries of focusing on grades (380).

Reshaping Classrooms in Secondary School Over the years, teachers of younger children have developed the art of transforming ordinary classrooms into inspiring places of learning. Teachers of young children are the envy of secondary teachers who cart their wares about like snails, leaving no trace at the conclusion of each lesson. One unfortunate consequence of this nomadic teaching style is that secondary teachers can be tempted by the “do-nothing” approach when it comes to reshaping their classrooms. This essay will focus on four changeable elements within the secondary school classroom, these are: seating arrangement, noise, light and temperature. Research suggests that seating arrangement plays a primary role with noise, light and temperature playing secondary roles (Jensen, 2005) .
