When a teacher speaks publicly about a student's private matters in front of other students, it leads to embarrassment for the student. The more embarrassed the student, the less comfortable he or she feels in class. When a student is no longer comfortable in class, they are less likely to focus on their class work because they are more worried about how other students judge them. An example of this poorly done quality is in the essay "Shame" by Dick Gregory, when the teacher spoke in front of a class of students about him claiming to have a father. She said, “We know you don’t have a daddy. » Even if Richard Gregory not having a father in his family was common knowledge in the class, it should not have been said so openly. If she had spoken to him privately about the fact that he knew he had no father and therefore could not give to the Community Treasury, he would not have felt so embarrassed and would not have left the class. An example of this quality done correctly comes from personal experience. In eighth grade, I had a math teacher who did not tolerate students doing anything that disrupted each other's learning. One day we were learning a difficult algebra problem and this student decided to deliberately shout out the wrong answers and because I was sitting next to him and getting the answers right he started calling me a nerd and geek. The teacher eventually left the classroom and entered the hallway with the student to speak privately. A few minutes later, the teacher returned to the class and the student sat back quietly in his seat. Class soon resumed and the student remained silent for the rest of the class. Because the teacher spoke to the student privately, it prevented students from knowing anything personal about that student.
