Reward system is the best way to go when you have students who are not willing to participate and may need motivation. A system that you can implement with the kids could be weekly or monthly (depending on ages of kids since most do not understand patience i.e waiting a whole week vs month). For the students that do good and participate will earn a star and when they have5 stars accumulated you can either 1) give them a homework pass  2) reward them with a book ( reading book, coloring book, pencils, crayons, etc). It is fun to see the kids happy to have earned something. And this will click in their heads and stay with them for a long time. It may be where you have more students and the weeks are not enough but you can choose 2 students or more at a time. It will also motivate the noisy kids and those who do not like to work at all. It has been proven to work as I have seen it with my own children.

As we know giving rewards to students lead to more success in life but punishment in many cases lead to failure Idont use  this method Used to give my student simple gifts to encourage them for success .some timesI Used sociological support

Effective discipline helps children learn to control their behavior so that they act according to their ideas of what is right and wrong, not because they fear punishment. For example, they are honest because they think it is wrong to be dishonest, not because they are afraid of getting caught.

The purpose of punishment is to stop a child from doing what you don't want - and using a painful or unpleasant method to stop him.

There are basically four kinds of punishment

  • physical punishment - slapping, spanking, switching, paddling, and using a belt or hair brush.
  • verbal punishment - shaming, ridiculing, using cruel words, saying "I don't love you."
  • withholding rewards - "You can't watch TV if you don't do your homework."
  • penalties - "You broke the window so you will have to pay for it with money from your allowance."

The first two kinds of punishment, physical and verbal, are not considered to be effective discipline methods. The other two, withholding rewards and giving penalties, can be used either as effective discipline methods or as punishment - depending on how parents administer them.
