introduction

The limitations of appreciation education and the necessity of educational punishment were discussed, and it was pointed out that educational punishment is an important means to achieve educational goals and protect the rights and interests of teachers and students. At the same time, it is pointed out that there are two extreme situations in the implementation of educational punishment: "dare not use" and "indiscriminate corporal punishment", which are not conducive to the protection of students' rights and interests, the harmonious development of teacher teaching and education.

1、 For the purpose of error correction

The "Rules for Punishing Primary and Secondary School Education (Trial)" for the first time stipulate educational punishment in the form of departmental regulations, clarifying that it is the behavior of schools and teachers to manage, train or correct students who violate rules and regulations based on educational purposes, aiming to promote students' awareness and correction of mistakes. Educational punishment has the attribute of educating people and is a necessary means to achieve educational goals. It awakens students' conscience and sense of right and wrong through criticism, education, punishment, and other means, while warning other students. Timely and appropriate punishment helps students distinguish right from wrong, abide by rules, and avoid the deterioration of their habits of violating regulations leading to crime. Educational punishment is an important means of protecting and saving students, and appropriate measures should be taken based on students' violations and disciplinary actions to promote the development of good behavior habits.

2、 Based on love as the premise

It emphasizes that when implementing educational punishment, teachers must have a sense of responsibility and love, believing that education with love is the true education. Students who violate rules and regulations often lack love, and they crave the love of teachers, parents, and elders. Punishment with love is dynamic and effective, which can guide students to recognize mistakes, resolve conflicts, and inspire the courage to correct them. Educator Mr. Xia Mianzun emphasized that without love, there can be no education. Teachers should adhere to the principle of "treating the matter and not the person" when punishing, and be full of love and trust towards the students themselves. Love is the lubricant of education, and punishment with love has warmth, which can enhance the relationship between teachers and students. Students who make mistakes need love even more. With love, gentle reminders or harsh advice can help students correct their mistakes. Education full of love can touch students' hearts, encourage them to reflect on their behavior, make up their minds to correct their mistakes, and grow up healthy. Teachers should not use the banner of "love" to impose punishment indiscriminately, but should grasp the degree of punishment and nourish students' hearts with love. Carrying selfless love for students and avoiding the negative impact of negative emotions on them is a responsible attitude towards students, parents, and society, which is conducive to the healthy development of the educational ecosystem and the healthy growth of students.

3、 Using appropriateness as a criterion

The appropriateness criteria for educational punishment were discussed, including the principles of equivalence, equality, and appropriateness. The principle of reciprocity requires that the severity of punishment be commensurate with the degree of student misconduct, in order to maintain deterrence and educational effectiveness. The principle of equality emphasizes treating all students who make mistakes equally, avoiding the influence of factors such as grades and family background on the fairness of punishment. The principle of appropriateness requires adopting appropriate disciplinary measures based on students' personalities and physical and mental characteristics to adapt to individual differences and improve the effectiveness of punishment. Teachers should uphold fairness, maintain educational authority, and encourage students to actively correct their mistakes.

4、 Based on the rule of law

Emphasizing that educational punishment should be based on the rule of law, the power of educational punishment is granted to schools and educators by law, aimed at managing and educating students in accordance with the law. Educational punishment is both a right and an obligation, which must be implemented within the legal framework and cannot be abused. A reasonable disciplinary system helps cultivate students' awareness of rules and sense of responsibility, while illegal punishments such as corporal punishment can cause harm to students and violate education laws. To implement educational punishment in accordance with the law, schools and teachers should adopt the negative list method to exclude illegal punishment methods, ensure that the power of educational punishment operates reasonably within the legal scope, and achieve the positive effect of educational punishment.

5、 With the aim of educating people

The fundamental purpose of emphasizing educational punishment is to implement the task of cultivating morality and promoting students' comprehensive development. Schools and teachers should implement a comprehensive education, including rewards and punishments, with enthusiasm, wisdom, and patience, focusing on nurturing students and cultivating their sound personalities. Educational punishment should make students experience shame, stimulate moral development motivation, and avoid the recurrence of wrong behaviors. Educational punishment should be a positive emotional experience that directly reaches the soul of students, triggering deep reflection and correction of mistakes. The educational punishment aimed at educating students can improve the effectiveness of education, achieve the function of educating people, and promote the healthy, happy, and harmonious development of students.

6、 Pursuing symbiosis

Emphasize the importance of educational punishment in promoting students' healthy growth, activating school vitality, and enhancing teachers' professional confidence. Educational punishment achieves the correction of student behavior and the promotion of healthy growth through the symbiotic coexistence of schools, teachers, and students. Schools and teachers should implement punishment with a responsible attitude, while students should correct their mistakes based on trust in the school and teachers. Educational punishment not only helps students grow, but also guides teachers' growth and promotes the development of school characteristics. To improve the effectiveness of educational punishment, schools need to have rules and regulations, teachers need to have warmth and artistry in management, and education needs to be highly intelligent. Teachers should possess educational sentiments, sense of responsibility, and professional wisdom to promote the symbiotic growth of schools, teachers, and learners. Schools and teachers should adhere to the fundamental goal of cultivating students' moral character, safeguard their legitimate rights and interests, implement legal, compliant, and reasonable educational punishments, grasp the scale and temperature of punishment, enable students to understand reason, rules, and make corrections in education, enhance their awareness of rules, cultivate good behavioral habits, and become sound, perfect, qualified, and useful modern citizens.
