What are the causes of indiscipline in the school?

Answer 1

There are many reasons why there might be indiscipline in a school. The causes can be divided into two groups, causes within school and causes outside school.

Causes within school; this might include the following,

1. The teacher taking the lesson is a supply teacher and so is not recognised by the pupils as a figure of authority, because he/she is only temporarily teaching that class. Also the supply teacher may not know the individual names of the pupils - this may give certain kids the excuse to ignore the teacher while he/she is attempting to communicate with them, for a time before they pretend to notice the teacher actually wants their attention. Name games might be played where the pupils assume the names of their friends for example during the register, to confuse the teacher.

2. A teacher is foreign and cannot speak good English - the pupils can use it to their advantage by purposefully misunderstanding their teacher. Another way for pupils to shirk, is to engage in friendly conversation with the foreign teacher. Asking questions about his or her homeland is often a very successful way of enticing them to talk about subjects with very little relation to the lesson.

3. The teacher may be late and so the first few minutes of the lesson were spent in an environment devoid of the basic classroom rules. This bad foundation for the lesson makes pupils more prone to rebellious behaviour

4. Its the last lesson of the day. For any teacher, such a time of the day to teach is generally a misfortune. In anticipation of the end of the day, pupils take less care over their work and may lose commitment, as thoughts turn to what they have to do after the lesson, e.g piling up homework to deal with or an angry girlfriend who needs talking to.

5. Of course the standard of discipline is likely to go down even further if a lengthy holiday awaits the end of a Friday afternoon lesson or indeed awaits the end of a school week.

6. Poor teaching. Usually a teacher who makes more of an effort to connect with the pupils is more likely to gain their attention. But reading in a monotone from a text book before telling the pupils to get on with some task in their books is just asking for the paper planes to take flight and shouting across the classroom.

7. Outnumbered. Teaching is a tough job, though not impossibly so. However, sometimes there may simply be too many rebels in the class to keep control. It might come down to ringing support stuff when a teacher has had it with a pupil who wont take out his earphones and needs to be removed. Although this may have solved a problem its ultimately wasted time as all the other pupils look up from whatever they are meant to be doing at the occurring confrontation. Playing for time, that's what its about.

8. Amongst higher ability groups, certain pupils may come to the conclusion that they are intellectually superior to the teacher and so taunt him/her, without feeling any incentives to do the work. Instead they talk to friends, chuck stuff about, knowing they're able to conduct themselves in a reasonable manner should the teacher come round, and answer correctly any questions the teacher may ask them to check they are doing the work.

9. Negative relations between pupils. There may also be unwelcome incidents that could occur between pupils at any time, causing tempers to occasionally flare. As you can probably guess, such emotions are likely to somewhat dim the awareness of school disciplines for the pupil(s) in question.

Causes outside school; this may possibly include the following:

1. The parents of pupils may have no interest in education and so this encourages their children to assume a similar attitude, provoking rebellious behaviour.

2. Pupils may be abused at home. Its not going to be as easy for a pupil from an unstable background to focus on school work as one from a more secure one. After all, what is a pupil who is mistreated at home more likely to be thinking about, what's the formula for the circumference of a circle or, will my dad get drunk again tonight and threaten me with that knife?

3. Pupils may have found that being tough is the way to survive at home, so why shouldn't they think otherwise whenever they turn up to school?

4. Home life for some might involve being overindulged by parents and so pupils expect the same when they come to school.

5. Again in the domestic context, pupils may not ever have been set clear boundaries at home and so its only natural that they are going to find abiding by a whole set of new rules at school a suffocating prospect which limits their usual freedom immeasurably.

Answer 2

There are several factors: 1. Little to no home structure; parents home discipline weak or nonexistent 2. Student's academic insecurities 3. Family history of not attending college; students do not view college as a plan for the future 4. Students are much more loyal to their friends and tend to mimic/support inappropriate behavior 5. Lack of self worth 6. Wrong friend choices can make really good kids make really poor choices As a teacher those are the main things that come to my mind at the moment. I'm sure there are some obvious ones that I'm overlooking.
