Lack of discipline promotes violence

Answer 1

Answer:

Discipline :

Developing proper classroom discipline

Some teachers and parents claim that corporal punishment makes it easier for teachers to manage their classrooms. However there is little evidence that caning or beating are as effective as many people believe. According to experts in the field, "there is considerable data indicating that corporal punishment does not, in any consistent way, deter misbehaviour or encourage good behaviour on the part of children. Most experts agree that corporal punishment does nothing to fulfil the disciplinary goal of developing a child’s conscience so as to enable him or her to behave well…" Hitting children is also a dangerous practice, which can cause physical and psychological injury. It inhibits positive child development and positive forms of discipline.

Children are holders of human rights. The Convention on the Rights of the Child requires everyone, in article 19, to protect children from "all forms of physical and mental violence" while in the care of parents and others.

Teachers should impose non-physical disciplinary measures as an alternative to beatings or canings. Teachers can require students to write a statement describing the negative effects of their behaviour, or to apologize for the mistake in front of their classmates. The misbehaving child could sit on a chair or a mat at the back of the room and think about their mistake and of ways to improve their behaviour. You can ask the child to perform additional academic work. You can require the student to bring his or her parents to school to talk about poor behaviour.

Hope it will help you.
