Screaming as Negative Reinforcement

Some of the teachers with the worst classroom discipline are the "screamers." These are the teachers who yell at their students continuously. Eventually, this form of negative reinforcement causes the students close their ears and write off their teacher's behavior as unreasonable. Sometimes silence speaks louder than words. Screaming rarely works and in fact often makes a class come together against the teacher.
