Our School Discipline
Being on time is a beautiful social ethic and one of great importance, as it creates efficiency in systems and implies respect for one another. However, it is one of the many values that a school must inculcate into its students over time.
Discipline is not something that must be slapped onto a child like handcuffs.
Inner discipline, one that comes from within due to an understanding of the set rules and regulations, is the highest form of behavior. Most excellent schools try to instill this with a loving environment.
Why, even adults arrive late to meetings, works, etc admittedly shamefaced. Here, we are talking about children.
Latecomers should not be shut out. They can be given warnings, most of which are enough to make them want to reach school on time. If this fails, talk to parents.
By closing its gates, the school is behaving cruelly and coldly treatment to which we prefer not to expose our children.
Every school has a responsibility to implement educational concepts in the appropriate context, not just those schools that follow international standards and are generally unaffordable for the majority.
Good schools create competitive students who can organize themselves effectively in society so that everyone gets a quality life as a result of ethics and values imbibed into students for as long 12 years.
Children are precious, and are dependent on adults for guidance and we must not take advantage of this. Understanding them is the key, and to this end, both parents and schools must work hand in hand without playing the blame game.
Since I gave private lesson years ago, even my students didn’t take any private lesson with me; sometimes they still come to ask for help. This is one of the examples. Her name is Lia. She is now studying at SMA 1 Kudus. She got an assignment to compose a dialogue based on the text above. I am happily helped her. Wanna read the result? Here it is.
A : I heard yesterday you got punishment for coming late, was it true?
B : Yeah. I came thirty minutes after seven. How do you know about it?
A : Relax, chill out! Being late is normal. It also happened to me a week ago.
B : Really? But for me it was my first and there never will be second or third. Being latecomer is out of my style. Being discipline is a beautiful social ethic and one of great importance.
A : So, do you agree if the students who come late must be given punishments?
B : Not like that. I meant discipline is the highest form of behavior but it is not something that must be slapped onto a child like handcuffs.
A : Hmmmm you meant that latecomers should not be shut out and should be given warnings to make them want to reach school on time? If like that I can’t agree more. I am 100% with you.
B : Yeah. That is what I meant. Children are precious, and are dependent on adults for guidance. If schools close its gates, they behave cruelly and coldly treatment their students. What they do won’t fix anything, perhaps make the situation gets worse. Good schools have a responsibility to implement educational concepts in the appropriate context and create competitive students who can organize themselves effectively in society.
A : Wow. Seems like being late gave good effect for you. Your opinion about discipline and punishment really impress me. Hey, what about taking this issue for our debate club tomorrow, you think it is a good idea?
B : Yeah. Why not? Let’s find out what our friend think about it. Do not forget to send the invitation for Mr Poltak. He can be our moderator. We all know he has outstanding knowledge and experience.
A : OK. See you on Saturday at 3 pm then. And thanks for the great chat. Bye.
B : Bye too.
