When teachers display anger or upset due to student behavior, what is NOT a likely reaction from students?

• A. Reconsider the behavior they were engaging in
• B. Become more defiant in their actions
• C. Show immediate compliance with classroom rules
• D. Feel anxious about the teacher's response

Answer: (A)

When teachers express anger or frustration in response to student behavior, the most common student reactions typically involve defensiveness or increased anxiety rather than introspection. In this context, reconsidering their behavior implies a level of reflection and self-regulation that may not be immediate or prevalent when faced with a teacher's emotional outburst. Most often, students might become more defiant, feel anxious about the situation, or comply superficially but may not genuinely reconsider the implications of their actions. Hence, the possibility of a student thoughtfully reassessing their behavior in the heat of the moment is less likely, making it an incorrect choice for a likely reaction.
