SCHOOL DISCIPLINE AND ITS EFFECT AROUND THE GLOBE


There is a clear difference between discipline and management. A teacher manage a classroom and a coach manages a team, not discipline them. Discipline is only use to correct deviant behaviour. It has been said that the U.S. governments want imitate other countries method of discipline, because of the attitudes of the students at secondary school level. For example, African countries use discipline as a major factor to enable a good and attentive learning zone, but this method of discipline only benefits one group, and that is the teachers. A school is created to help students to succeed in life. However, this African teachers are using their role and duties, as a teacher, to achieve the so-called punishment fame. Many young intellectuals are dropping out of school or their minds are impinge with fear of teachers, rather than to concentrate on their studies, "Mr. Mark is very dangerous; I hate his class."

Discipline will not teach the students any lesson, it will only allow them to maintain their behaviour. Maintenance of behaviour in this issue is not an assurance to a good and successful future. In fact, in some countries, teachers had neglect their tutoring and advising duties to enforce unnecessary discipline. How can you attain a level of discipline when management is not applied? Discipline in the classroom depends in the way that you perform your duties as a teacher.

Another way to attain a good discipline level in your class is to set up interactive sessions with limited notes. Many students found school to be very absurd, because, teachers spent little time e.g five minutes, to summarize the whole activity. In order to arise the interests of this students,teachers should set up interactive debate, and after-school programs. Many teachers thought that the best way to appease students is by making friends with them, however, too much love is equal to dis-respectfulness. You don't have to be too nice, but you can do your duty as you are taught to do.
