DISCIPLINE



ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT LESSONS EDUCATION SHOULD TEACH IS DISCIPLINE. IT IS THE SHARED RESPONSIBILITY OF THE HOME AND SCHOOL TO ACCOMPLISH THIS GOAL. IT IS THE TRAINING THAT DEVELOPS SELF-CONTROL, CHARACTER, ORDERLINESS, AND EFFICIENCY. DISCIPLINE IS THE KEY TO GOOD CONDUCT AND PROPER CONSIDERATION FOR OTHER PEOPLE. GOOD DISCIPLINE IS MAINTAINED BY RECOGNIZING AND PRAISING GOOD BEHAVIOR AND TAKING CORRECTIVE ACTION WHEN NECESSARY.

STUDENTS ARE EXPECTED TO PUT FORTH THEIR BEST EFFORT AND TO CONDUCT THEMSELVES AT ALL TIMES IN A MANNER THAT WILL PROMOTE A SAFE, ORDERLY LEARNING ENVIRONMENT. SCHOOL, CLASSROOM RULES, AND EXPECTED BEHAVIOR ARE EXPLAINED TO THE CHILDREN.

ACCEPTABLE CORRECTIVE MEASURES MAY INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO THE FOLLOWING:

  1. TEACHER-STUDENT CONFERENCE

  2. DEPRIVATION OF PRIVILEGES OR PREFERRED ACTIVITIES

  3. TIME-OUT IN THE CLASSROOM OR OFFICE
