Concetti Chiave
- Teachers can choose between casual and severe punishments to address student misbehavior.
- Casual punishment allows students to correct minor mistakes without severe consequences.
- Severe punishments serve as a strong deterrent and impact both the student and peers.
- Effective discipline balances the type of punishment with the severity of the offense.
- Parental support is crucial, as they often side with children against teachers, complicating discipline.
Discipline in school
I think there are two broad categories of disciplinary approach that teachers can follow when facing problematic or bad behaving pupils: casual and severe castigation. A casual punishment, such as a warning, can be used at the first occurrence of misbehavior or for minor offences, whereas severe punishments, such as suspension, should be used when the children recklessly persevere in their misdoings or in case of grave offence.
One advantage of a casual castigation may be that the student has the opportunity to understand what he did wrong, and try to do better, without really going into big trouble.
If used correctly the different forms of discipline have the right effect of correcting the behavior of the children. However, if sloppy attempts of castigation are used in grave circumstances, the teachers risk losing their control over the students. Vice versa, if severe reprimands follow minor offences, the students may not accept them and complaint about them at home with their parents. And unfortunately, nowadays, it often happens that the parents take the side of their children and blame it on the teachers themselves if the children have or show problems at school, making the role of the teachers even more difficult than it already is.
