Discipline Problems in School
Many define discipline as the practice of training people to obey rules so that they can control
their behaviour results from this training. However, lately , there have been a lot of
disciplinary cases involving the students from many schools and this is worrying the school
administrators as well as the parents . These indiscipline in schools has open up to many
problems and they are effecting other [Link] such as extortion,gangfight,vandalism,gangsterism and truancy too mention a few need thorough review by the
government and school [Link] the situation may worsen and effecting the
good image of many other schools.
There are many causes of indiscipline in [Link] students who hailed from broken families
and whose parents have divorced or passed away are part of the causes which contribute to
the disciplinary [Link] not many of them who are involved yet without anyone taking
care of them at home,they tend to overstress themselves and proceed to negative activities
such as extortion , play truant and [Link] top of that the peer influence also plays a
[Link] are easily influenced with money and materials gifts so they will do whatever it
takes to satisfy their peers [Link] case would be exacerbated when the gang leader
recruited other students who are willing to join [Link] these indiscipline of
vandalism,gandsterism and truancy will spread like fire if the school administrator fail to
rectify them.
The effect of indiscipline can be clearly felt especially when the students start to go against
the school rules and regulations in bigger [Link] is a good [Link] happens when
the teacher is having a meeting or on [Link] somebody starts to leave the class,others
will [Link] students will then go to the toilet or other hidden places in the school
[Link] have the guts to leave the school compound and go to cybercafs and
snooker [Link] who are bored or stressful may vandalise the school properties by
damaging them.
Besides, there are many other reasons why the students are playing truant .One of it is
because of peer influence . Students who are involved in this truancy problem
are usually colleagues of students who have discipline problems. They would
follow their friends playing truant and having fun after being influenced by
their friends . Moreover, there is a tendency that the problematic students are
also effected by their disinterest in learning . Some students who have low
1
academic performances at school are usually losing their interest in learning .
Also,these students who are playing truant are also in the same group after
they are being scolded or humiliated by their teachers in front of their
classmates . Hence their interest to be in classes would be greatly affected.
What is even worse,the truancy cases are coming from those effected by
lack of attention from their parents . Some of their parents have to work all
day and night to find money for their family .These parents do not have
sufficient time to spend with their children or getting involved with their
academic progresses. This will make their children to revolt and do anything
they like .On the other hand, stress is also another reason on why truancy
happened to many students. Some students who are often being bullied in their
schools and the victims will go through a great deal of stresses until they are
not able to concentrate in their classes anymore . The problems at school
with classmates and teachers plus those at home will surely carry the
unavoidable [Link] made the students wanting to escape from this
unruliness.
Apart from that,extortion is also another form of indiscipline where students like to show off
their colours and [Link] junior students become the victims. These juniors students will
do ridiculous tasks and gang-fight will happen if the junior students refuse to follow the
[Link] it gives a trauma to those who are beaten in and out of school
[Link] end result would force the parents to pull out their children from the school.
There are many suggestions to overcome these indiscipline in school and one of them is to
give the extra powers to the teacher to cane the [Link] those old days when teachers
have free hand to cane those indiscpline students but now the scenario is [Link]
have to be more careful as some parents may proceed with police report or confront the
teachers and assault [Link] has made the students lose their fear and respect for their
[Link], teachers to be allowed to beat students palms if they misbehave although
they may not be allowed to beat other parts of the [Link] will then have some fear
and this will help the teachers to control them.
Moreover, some of my suggestions are the students have to be monitored by teachers
at their school . Discipline teacher has to take responsibility in this case. Also
teachers should give warnings to them such as tell them that they will be
handed over to the police if they are found playing truant . School
administrators also must play a role to send all this problematic students for
counselling with the hope some of them will realise the effect of mixing with
wrong companies and hoping to change for the better.
On the other hand, in my opinion, the school administrators should hold some interesting
school activities . This will attract the students to attend school and stop
playing truant . The school administrators can also organize awareness
campaign for the students at school to prevent the truancy problems occuring
and hold some motivational talks .Lastly , the discipline teacher should meet
parents and have dialogue with them about the problem.
The indisciplinary cases must be stopped or cut at the nip of the [Link] parents,they want
their children to enjoy learning in [Link] adage which says School is our second home
must be instilled in the minds of every [Link] make our school a place of
interesting and enjoyable activities.
In conclusion,I hope the truancy problem which is happening in many schools
especially from the last classes can be cut down with the involvement of all
[Link] us make our school as our second home and truancy problem will
surely be under controlled.
