importance of 'discipline'?

Self-discipline is very important.  One must keep track of responsibilities and find time to meet them properly.  On the other hand, we need time to open up to new possibilities.  We need time to appreciate life and others.

I am not a teacher but I think teachers have to put up with a lot of crap from students. There are so many kids today that are just plain lazy and disrespectful and then they whine because the teachers are mean. I personally think that "discipline" should be brought back into the classroom and home. If I said or did half the stuff kids do today I would have gotten my butt kicked!

it's extremly important to follow direction that are given by experienced people. they usualy know what works and doesnt and have been there before. A lot of people make the mistake of not listening or trying their own way to get better yet they often waste years of their lives doing this.\n\nhaving self discipline in any sport is extremly important as well because if you dont push yourself to be the best, nobody else will! you have to work hard to get anywhere in life, because if you dont, someone else will.\n\nim not sure about integrity, but surely that most count for something

Yes. When you "manage" a class, you have to deal with your students both on your level as teacher and on their level as well. Guidance comes into play when you model behavior or give them prompts to help them come up with an answer. Any time you are redirecting, focusing, or encouraging a child to do something, you are guiding that child. Unfortunately, not enough teachers take a psycho-social approach to teaching, so that when problems arise, they are stuck as to what is going on with the child. When I was a one on one assistant in a classroom, I always asked my student to "check-in" with me, this allowed him to tell me if he was having a hard time or needed a breather (he had Aspergers Syndrome). I would consider guidance to be ESSENTIAL to classroom management.

First and foremost is education.  That is the key in not letting abuse go on.  People need to be educated as to what is/isn’t acceptable behavior when it comes to children.  They need to know where the boundary is between discipline and abuse.  Many don’t know that.  Many really don’t think they are doing anything wrong at all.  They tend to see it as discipline not abuse.  In a lot of cases it had been done to them so they think that is the way to do things.  \n\nSecondly society needs to get involved.  Many times people, friends, neighbors, relatives, etc know what is going on but don’t do anything about it, not wanting to be ‘involved’.  But they need to be!  They need to report abuse and keep reporting it until someone listens to them.  Reporting abusive behavior isn’t interfering in how a child is raised it is reporting a criminal act.  It can be done anonymously so no-one would know they did it.  \n\nThirdly, the parents need to be held accountable for abuse.  Just because it is their children they are hurting doesn’t make it any less of a crime than if they did it to someone that wasn’t related to them.  Just because it is their child doesn’t give them the right to abuse them.  Children are not property, they are human beings like any adult, and shouldn’t be treated as such.  Just because you are a parent to them doesn’t allow you the right to do to them whatever you want.  While parenting classes for these people is a step in the right direction it isn’t the only thing that needs to be done.  What usually happens is they attend the class but don’t learn anything from it.  When the class is over they graduate from it whether or not it has succeeded.  People who facilitate these classes should be allowed to give a recommendation as to whether or not the person learned anything, not just rubber stamp it and pass it along as done.  Counseling one on one for the abuser is a must.  If they can learn what is causing the abusive behavior there is a better chance at making sure it doesn’t happen again.  Criminal penalties should be attached to this behavior as well.  It isn’t a family problem like most think it is a violent crime and needs to be treated as such.  They also need to be shown ways other than violence that works as discipline.  There are many different ways and they are effective.\n\nFourthly, Children’s services needs some drastic changes done to it.  It is undermanned and the caseload carried by the workers is far beyond what they can reasonably handle.  Give them the workers and funds they need to do what is right.  They should also be allowed to judge things on a case to case basis rather than have to deal with some arbitrary rules that don’t apply to some things.  They also need to be educated better about things than what they are.  Also, they should be allowed to recommend whether or not children are safe with their parents not have to return children just because the they followed what the courts said to do.  Give that recommendation to a psychologist or psychiatrist that is neutral and is appointed by the courts then let them decide what should be done then report to the courts their findings.  Judges and lawyers aren’t equipped in those areas like people in the field so giving them the information from a professional in the field can help them better determine what should and shouldn’t be done.  Workers should also be held criminally accountable for some things as well such as if they are negligent in what they have done or out and out didn’t do it but falsely filed paperwork saying they did.  Truly, these people are the ones that protect the children, any failure due to their mismanagement or sloppy work should make them accountable if the child comes to any more harm.  They should also be allowed to bar some people from having access to the children, such as a boyfriend of the mothers who is the abuser and be able to take action if the mother allows them back in

I think that it is extremely important. People need to feel like it's OK to put themselves out there and make a mistake. It's impossible to learn anything without goofing up every once in a while. Creating this kind of environment boils down to one thing, respect. If you respect your students, and don't tolerate your other students disrespecting each other it will facilitate their learning.

Common sense..... well that went away at about the time it became unpopular to spank you child as a way of showing them right and wrong,which led to small children manipulateing their parents in public by screaming 'your hurting me" when they were not even being touched......self respect, oh there lot of self respect out there maybe just not enough respect for others.....common courtesy.......let see.... we are now in the "whats in it for me age" well there is absolutely no reward other than emotional in being nice to others....i sometimes wonder if we will get to the point of being deliberately mean just because we can (you know like slamming a door on someones face) I already say "was that truly necessary" alot more than i want to.

To have discipline would be nice, but it is hard. Here is another idea, though: try to think of something that motivates you and makes it worthwhile. For example, even if school is boring you, you might decide you want to go to the best university of the country, or to some special university, that requires you to have the best marks. Working towards that goal might be able to motivate you.\n\nCheck out this great essay by Paul Graham on good and bad proccrastination: \n\nhttp://paulgraham.com/procrastination.html

Church discipline is a must and is supported by the Bible. One only needs to read 1 Corinthians to see that. I think the pastor was making a valid point, but in a rather abrasive manner. According to the Bible, if a Christian is sinning then there are steps to follow. First he/she is to be approached one on one. Then, if no repentance and the sin continues he/she is to be confronted  by 2 or 3 witnesses plus thew original "accuser" -for lack of a better term. If he/she still refuses to repent then they were to be excommunicated -but not completely ostracized like what happens in a cult. However, there may also come a time when that too becomes necessary. This may sound cruel but it's a Biblical command is actually done out of love and concern for the soul of the individual. The point of this was that the sinning Christian who refuses to repent would lose the spiritual protection of fellow believers and Satan would then be able to inflict punishment on the "flesh" so that the spirit may be "saved in the day of the Lord".\nI'm sure you'll agree that some churches too frequently allow sin to go unchecked within the body of Christ and thus bring shame to believers and to the Lord. Sin has a habit of festering and spreading like a wild fire and pastors must invoke church discipline when it becomes necessary. If a sinning Christian refuses to repent then that individual must be "handed over to Satan". Human weakness is one thing but the wilful unrepentant sin of a believer is entirely different

If you mean be strict right off the bat, I would say it works. Of course, there will almost always be one or 2 kids who will probably challenge you. Those are the ones that usually end up respecting the teacher/ adult the most. That's my experience anyway...And there are some kids who will never respect certain adults for their own reasons.

Learning is essential to proper development and to living in this wicked world.  Teaching must be done for one to learn.

Doing the work, as long as it gets done and you're doing well its fine. That was my motto in school anyways lol.  Unfortunately it takes a lot of discipline to do the work afterwards lol.
