Always asking kids if they understand is important because if students do not understand and they feel that a teacher is not concerned about checking whether or not the students understand, the students will rebel.
I have noticed that students who do not understand in my classes act out because they do not understand and they assume they'll never figure it out. I have seen students go from the trouble making, sleeping and uncaring student to an attentive and well behaved student after a teacher has taken the time to ask whether a student is understanding and then helping them through the process of understanding. I feel like it can be really important for teachers to understand why students act out in certain ways. If I didn't understand something in my classes, I would have fought to figure it out or simply given up.
