A
positive reinforcement
B
negative reinforcement
C
punishment
D
all of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Positive punishment This is a classic operant conditioning example in the classroom. Operant conditioning examples in the classroom also include a teacher scolding a student publicly for repeating mistakes. It’s a positive punishment for coming late to class repeatedly or being too talkative.

Detailed explanation-2: -However, Teachers must punish students immediately after the unwanted behavior has occurred. If you wait too long, it will not work because your students may not connect the punishment with the unwanted behavior. This can result in your students misbehaving and not knowing why they are being punished.

Detailed explanation-3: -Different Types of Punishment Have the student write a letter of apology. Instead of giving them lines, have them recopy their notes from the class. Give them additional homework. Reduce their break time (depending on the school’s disciplinary code) or deprive them of a reward.
