Essay On Discipline

The Assertive Discipline Model is a model that comes under the Management Theories. The two main theorises behind this model if discipline are Lee and Marlene Carter, the husband and wife duo have put thousands of hours research into helping perfect this model (Allen, 1996). They see the Assertive Discipline Model as being an approach that is direct and positive; it allows the teachers to teach and the students to be in an environment where they are able to lean to their best ability (Allen, 1996). The Carter’s model of Assertive Discipline relies on the teacher to punish unacceptable behaviour in a way in which will deter the child from repeating this behaviour again (Allen, 1996). A key point that Carter and Carter make in their model of Assertive Discipline is that the behaviour that is expected in the classroom is well known, there are warnings given to the students about their behaviour reminding them what is expected of them and then it is expected that the teacher following through with the consequence that adheres with the incorrect behaviour (Konza, Grainger & Bradshaw, 2001). Teachers using the Assertive Model will under no circumstances tolerate students that disrupt them the teacher, or other students from learning (Konza, Grainger & Bradshaw, 2001). The consequences for students that have misbehaved must be clear and concise so that the students themselves have a clear understanding of what the punishment is and what the behaviour is that

In the classroom, does it seem like your needs do not matter?

The disciplinary model that is featured in Discipline with Dignity is centered on a positive value system. Instead of focusing on discipline issues and power struggles, teachers should focus rather on how to positively influence the lives of their students. This is important to note because in addition to the curriculum, students learn about their behavior, their choices, and how they affect others in the classroom. The chapter focused on what causes discipline problems from sources within and outside of schools.

Education is very important in the United States, they send us to school five of days the week, nine months of out of the year, and for twelve years of our lives to receive a high school diploma so we can go on to college, a trade school or enter the work field. Many high school graduates choose to go on and achieve a secondary education. Some of those students decide on teaching the next generation. Teachers entering into their own classrooms should be aware of the rise in discipline disparities in schools all across America. Disparity in school discipline is use of discipline according to race, gender and sexual orientation. Discipline disparity in schools across America have played a significant role among students of all grades and ages

My prior understanding of discipline was uneducated and inaccurate. I was certain that discipline was related to punishment and the goal was to have a particular unwanted behavior to cease. A child that required discipline would be singled out, scolded, forced to perform a chore or action, such as sit for a time out, or the child would have something taken away, such as television or toys. As a child, I grew up in a household with parents who were primarily authoritative. They tended to be fair; however they did use punishment through "grounding", which generally meant that we were not able to engage in fun for set period of time. Other times, we were instructed to perform some sort of labor of their choice, such as washing my Dad's

Over the years, the education system allocated fewer resources since 1992, because of that the teachers get low salary. Because of the low salary the teacher didn’t put an efforts, this move led to less discipline, simply because the teachers don’t have any motivation invest in the student.

This paper will compare and contrast positive discipline between Alfred Adler and Rudolph Dreikurs to that of Peggy Drexler’s view that children should not be shamed during discipline. They all agree there are great advantages to positive discipline. The most important advantage is it helps develop children into self-disciplined adults. Another advantage is that it nurtures stronger relationships between the parent and child, which allows the child a better understanding of their parents’ feelings. It also helps reduce power struggles between a child and his/her parents.

Discipline is at the core of every successful learning organization. The school community needs to review the discipline polices and practices and have clear standards of behavior that are known and supported by all stakeholders. These standards must have clear consequences for those who are stepping outside the boundaries of acceptability, and these consequences need to be consistently applied. Presently at the school, it appears that the principal is the only one who administers discipline. Therefore more persons on staff need to be empowered to take up disciplinary

"Our society is becoming increasingly violent and angry; we should try to do everything possible to minimize that culture around our children.” Almost every parent, strive to raise their kids to the best of their abilities, however the issue there is no parenting schools , parents learn as the go and when facing the challenging task of discipline their children they tend to do exactly what they learned from their experiences growing

The public school systems have numerous of abusers on campus that gets caught and reported. The abusers in the school system use authoritative discipline against the kids. Children under the age of eleven are normally forced to participate in sexual activities with their abuser due to their inability to recognize a predator. Authoritative abusers in the school system use their authority to discipline the kids. In order for children to grow they need discipline to shape them. The learning process to teach children the approximate behavior is disciplining them; unlike discipline abuse is not a learning process because it does not teach correct behavior.

Today’s school environment is much different than that of previous generations. Discipline has become a more complex topic in the minds of our school administrators. How do we deal with students when they misbehave? A study by Gregory, Cornell, Fan, Sheras, Shih, and Huang (2010) looked into this issue by examining the techniques of strict vs. supportive disciplinary tactics. They termed this “structure vs. support” (p. 485), and came up with some very interesting results. Their study found that both rule enforcement, or structure, and the presence of caring adults, or support, were essential to reducing rates of bullying and peer victimization in their schools (Gregory et al. 2010).

Learning to discipline children and knowing the right kind of discipline strategy is hard work and a real challenge to parents. A lot of times people, especially parents, fail to know the difference between punishment and effective discipline. Discipline is explained as the process of educating children about proper behaviours and societal norms and values. Effective discipline helps children manage their actions so that they behave according to their knowledge of what is right and wrong rather than just being afraid of being caught. Through discipline encounters, parents look forward to stir up children to act in agreement with parental principles of suitable behaviour (Baumrind and Thompson, 2002). Effective discipline makes children internalize their parents’ disciplinary message and it also develops in them societal standards of conduct giving them an understanding of right and wrong – for example, a conscience.

     Certain challenges in life can be described as being inevitable. Nearly everyone must face such typical events throughout the course of their life where surpassing a particular challenge is a sign of growth and experience, and, having been dealt with, such a trial is not expected to arise again. Most individuals in our society are familiar with such periods in their lives where they were made to begin walking as infants, coached into learning how to ride a bicycle later on, encouraged to start driving a car during the teenage years, earned a high school and/or college degree, etc. Such challenges and ordeals are expected. They are perceived as being completely natural and
