When a teacher is offering praise to a student, which of the following actions should they avoid?
  1. Praising a child for participating when the child is an infrequent participator
  2. Praising a child for obtaining a good grade when they are usually a low performer
  3. Praising a child for behaving well in comparison to a child who is misbehaving
  4. Praising a child for offering an unconventional idea
Explanation
Answer: C - Praising a child for behaving well in comparison to a child who is misbehaving. Praise can come in many forms, but it should not be done in a way that is comparative and may negatively affect the subject of the comparison. Doing so may set up an awkward social situation for the children involved and may not gain favor for the teacher.
