Reasons for Yelling
1. Teachers don’t know a better way.
2. They don’t trust their classroom management plan.
3. They don’t enforce their classroom rules each and every time.
4. They take poor student behavior personally and feel the need to scold.
5. It works initially (though the effect lessens over time and comes at a high cost).

Hence the teacher
yelled more often and louder.
Effects of Yelling
Ø
Yelling also shows a loss
of control, which provides a poor
model for your students. When you yell or fail to conceal your frustrations
in front of them, you’re teaching your students how to behave when things don’t
go their way or when they don’t get what they want.
Ø
Yelling is the result of not
having a solid classroom management plan marked by a faithful adherence to
rules and their intended consequences. Thus, yelling, much like lecturing, takes the
place of real and effective classroom management.
Ø
Yelling creates distrust
and resentment in students because it’s arbitrary, it’s based on
intimidation, and it chisels away at a child’s dignity.
Ø
It’s also undignified
for the teacher. If you watched a video clip of yourself yelling, “Slow down!”
or “I said to walk!” across the lobby of a museum or in front of a lovely
aquarium, I don’t think you would like what you saw.
Ø
When you speak in a
normal voice, whatever you say is deemed by your students to be less important and to carry less weight
(i.e., they will tune you out). They come to believe that you only really mean
what you say when you shout, yell, or raise your voice.
