It is often said that the best way to teach is to praise positive actions and ignore the negative ones. At first glance it may appear to be true. Some may agree with the author. To make somebody more confidence in what he is very good at, we need to ignore his little negative actions. However, I disagree with the above premise. The reason for my stand will be elaborated in the subsequent paragraph.

First, teachers play a very crucial role in the making of an gentleman. A student may be very brilliant in his studies. He gets the top rank each year. But his attitude towards his mentor and his collegues is not good. He is very rude, abusive. These actions should not be ignored. Clearly if these actions are ignored, he will never quit his habit of rude and abusive character. His actions will make him recluse from his collegues and he will be left alone in his coming years. Even if he is a brilliant student, his negative actions should be be taken into account and be taught that these behaviour or attitude is wrong.

Second, apart from education, parents also plays a very pivot role in thier making of children's character. Any wrong traits should be immidiately rectify. Suppose a kid is very good in behaviour and everyone praise his character. But he is having a habit of stealing money. Clearly these traits should not be neglected. Parents should teach thier children about what is good or bad. It's true that as a kid he might not know what is good od bad so it's the responsibility of the parents to teach them about good and bad.

Third, it's a common trend now a days that student are not willig to go to institution rather gelling with their friend in some wrong doings. Telling lies and bunking classes should not be tolerated. Some strict actions from the school administration should be taken against these kids. Not only actions but they should also be taught about the importance of classes and not to bunk the classes.

To conclude, the ideas illustrated above, justify the stand that we need to take actions on the individual negative actions. It is not always neccessary that we need to be very harsh on the negative actions but we need to remind them that with best possible ways that this is not correct and they need to feel sorry for their wrong actions.
