Negative Reinforcement

A form of learning where a subject is rewarded for desired behavior by the removal of a negative, such as pain, hunger, or a distressing noise. This term is often confused with punishment, which is the introduction of a negative (the punishment) to discourage behavior.

Negative Reinforcement is the removal of something bad. Punishment is the introduction of something bad.
Negative Reinforcement: "Good behavior" in the prison system, where the negative (prison time) is reduced as a reward for not causing problems.

In comparison, the original prison sentence itself is punishment - a negative introduced to discourage behavior.

Reinbold

A high school social studies teacher that clearly resembles a large alpha penguin. Being deemed a Reinbold requires, but is not limited to, having stubby tubes for fingers, secretly being a fascist, claiming to have had an extensive and successful soccer and football career while claiming he could have gotten into a division 3 school for his "athletics." This infamous figure is known to be caught saying "hey guys, look up here" every 9 minutes and pausing after every scene during movies to explain. A Reinbold is generally a negative term and should only be brought out if a fellow peer is acting like a tool.
