Students are part of the learning environment, so the classroom runs much more effectively when they assist the instructor in motivating their peers. When the instructor sets a good example of how to respond to situations that could be embarrassing, like answering a question incorrectly, it serves as an invitation to the other students to act similarly. By enforcing compliance with motivational and positive behaviors, the culture of a classroom is much more conducive to learning.
