Opinion Support
Misbehavior is to a classroom what pain is
to a body.

Misbehavior is to a classroom what pain is to a body.
Pain is a diagnostic system that evolved in our body to keep our brain informed about the location and nature of potentially dangerous events (such as damage to a foot, although the rest of the body may be OK).
Much classroom misbehavior is similarly diagnostic. Acting-out students are informing the teacher that the lesson isn’t working with them, (although it may be fine and fun for the rest of the class).
That’s useful but albeit often distressing information for the teacher. Citizen protest and demonstrations are similarly stressful to political leaders, but it’s folly to view them only in negative terms or to ignore or repress them.
