A teacher is a motivator who represents children's emotions and actions. A very good answer given by child should be highly acknowledged so that a child will keep doing well. However, a teacher should not show a child that he or she did not know of the answer given by the child although the teacher knows at the back of his/her mind that he had never thought of that.

The praise should also be moderate so that it wont offend the other children, it should just encourage/provoke the others to think, whilst also keeping the spirit of the exceptional child up.
