Ways to decrease disciplinary issues at school

Nowadays, there are lots of disciplinary issues happened in schools such as bully, gangsterisms, rudeness of students towards teachers and many more. This issue increases from year to year and it affects students’ achievements in school in terms of academic, co-curriculum, and also their attitudes. In order to solve this issue, there are some ways that can be taken by all parties.

1.      Give right punishment to the mistakes they did

Whenever a student commits mistakes and still continues doing it, he/she has to be punished in order to avoid him/her from making the same mistakes. If no one admonished them, they will always think everything that they did were right. Do not give hard punishment that can let them keep grudge to the adults because if they do, their discipline might get worst. They might lose respect to people and will become wild. If punishment was given, ensure that it has to come along with advice. The students have to know the reason why they were being punished and why the things they commit were not good to themselves or others.

2.      Ensure students to get involve with school activities

School should be a fun place because it will be students’ second house after their own home. Each student should get involve at least one activity in school co-curriculum. There are lots of clubs in school and all students should be encouraged to join them. These clubs, at least can train students to be more discipline and more responsible with their task. Fun activities can avoid students from getting involved with any negative environment or activities. Moreover, their leadership potential can be polished and this will drive them to become a successful person in future.

3.      Parents’ role

Parents are the closest individuals to their children. Each of every children activity should be monitor so that they will always on the right track. If a child committed mistakes in school, parents should not ignore their child wrongdoing. This is because if every mistake is being ignored, even a small issue can be big and might be worst if parents did not play their role towards their children. When a child lost respect to their parents, and did not want to listen to anyone, anything worst can happen. This will lead him/her to have bad attitude. This is why parents’ role is very important in order to shape children attitudes at home, school and everywhere. When parents play their role, and not too spoil their children, the disciplinary issue at home or in school will be decrease. On top of that, parents should give enough love to their children. Lack of love and attention from parents will make children feel they are being abandoned at home and try to get attention by do some bad disciplinary action at school.

4.      Teachers’ role

If at home, parents will monitor their children, then at school, teachers will monitor their students’ activities. Moreover, at school there are discipline teachers that will look out every student’s action. For example, when students come late to school, there will be some punishment given such as pick up trash, standing in front of other students during assembly and many more as a lesson so that the students will come early next time. Along with the punishment, there should be advice from the teachers to encourage students to improve their disciplinary action that will lead the students to become a responsible person with good leadership attitude in future.

As a conclusion, parents and teachers are the most important individuals that involved in giving good lessons to the children and students. Good discipline can be implemented if all parties play their role well. These children or students need someone to teach and guide them to become a better person. If no one try to admonished them, they will take environment to become their ‘teacher’ and as a guide for them to live their life. If they mix with good environment then it is good. However, if they mix with bad and negative environment, then that will lead them to have bad discipline or attitude not only at home or school, but anywhere they go. Play a good role towards the children or students before it’s too late to do anything.
