answer:Appropriate? Probably not. It sends out a lot of the wrong messages, such as the kid doesn’t count and has no standing in the community. On the other hand, it might be seen as being effective or quick by the teacher. I doubt if it is, but it might be perceived that way. The best way to earn respect is to give respect. Teachers will do better if they respect their students. But of course, many of them feel that because they are adults, the kids owe them respect, but they owe nothing in return. In my opinion, those people shouldn’t be teachers.
