It all depends on the age and maturity of the students. If students are lead in a healthful environment it is seldom needed rewards or punishments. The class will progress to a common objective and motivation is intrinsic to activities. Most of the exceptions are pathologic ones and should be treated as such and for those neither reward nor punishments will avail for nothing.
I support the application of punishment and reward, each case in its own circumstances. The first thing that comes to mind, that the punishment is beating and physical harm to the child. While the penalty can be a firm look or a sympathetic word or blame the child.
The reward may lose its effect and its true value if it does not come within its proper framework, and there is a prerequisite for rewarding the good behavior of the child, namely that the reward is quick without delay or procrastination. There are no limits to reward, but the most important thing in this reward is not excessive. It also has an effect on the child, which enhances his good behavior, not a condition that is a financial reward, but also a moral one. And its effect is more than the financial reward.

Dear, Thanks for sharing. Both have always made part of human life. In teaching, reward or punishment, in my role as teacher, are linked to the grade (student's score). Each one in due proportion. I understand this way because what is combined between teacher and students needs to be fulfilled and the limits are part of learning. Finally, certainly no physical punishment!
Its dependent ,, but whatever the type of punishment or reward , it must be have educational goal and keep humanity of students ,, Best regards Jawad Ali
About punishments I usually say that when a child is spanked that the first hit is for the child, the rest is for the agressorg. The child after feeling the first pain will not be able to see the rest and will only have a lesson, he is not loved by that person.
I think both the extreme conditions are essential according to the situation. But extreme care should be taken for punishment so that it doesn't give a negative effect either physically or mentaly.
If a teacher wants a task got done then he should apply Reward/Punishment strategy according to the situation because this is how Human Nature works from he had born.
A lot of problems have been associated with using reward and punishment (carrot and stick) policy to control behavior and motivate children in early classes. I believe, we should avoid using this policy as much as we can.
It is better to look at positive side for both reward and punishment.
Using rewards motivates students to complete their homework on time. Rewards work for the sudents who receive them and those who do not: Seeing a high-achieving student enjoy a reward may inspire a disruptive student to focus on his work.
On the other hand, teachers also choose the way of punishment when rules are not followed. The punishments usually involve withholding something the disruptive student likes and enjoys in order to deter him from distracting his peers from learning.
Human behaviour is affected by positive and negative feedback from the invironment. I vote for Reward, but providing negative feedback for unwanted actions or behaviour should be supported by the environment.
Reward: An act of appreciating a student for good performance. It motivates students
Punishment: The modern education system doesn’t permit punishment which sometimes cause psychological damage to a student. So we have to find out some affectionate ways towards improvement.
A class is always heterogeneous. The way of improvement or correction in behaviour or performance is not supposed to be same for all. The teacher has to understand a student, his/her psychology. Accordingly, the teacher has to find out a suitable path. The discussion with parents can help a lot in this aspect.
