Two type of students
This week i went to SRS, and in my class there was two students one
of them had an excellent behaviors but the other one shocked me
because he had really bad behaviors. When the teacher praised the
good girl she could smile, also she was happy, i notice she is was
very active in classroom, when the teacher praised her she put more
effort because she wanted to make her teacher happy. The next boy
to my surprise when the teacher talked to him he could ignore the
teacher, he was not doing any class work, and when the teacher
asked him to pay attention he could pretend his lying on the desk,
he was too lazy and arrogant. The misbehaved student really affect
the whole class badly. When he start shouting incase the teacher not
here the whole class start shouting with him. I discovered that in
every class there are excellent students and there are misbehaved
students and this misbehaved students actually affect the whole
learning.
