Teachers, what is your schools discipline policy??

Question

There are SO many teachers here on the answers board asking what to do about bad kids.

And lots of them say the administrators just don't care, they don't punish the kids themselves.

What is in your schools discipline policy?

Do the administrators let you follow it?

Do they follow thru on their part?

Answer 1

I am a student in Ateneo. When I get a violation, I am given a post hour. It means that I will clean for an hour. If I get too much post hours, i'll get many hours of cleaning making me busy in cleaning and missing lessons.

Answer 2

My school's discipline policy is very vague.  It's not like it says "If a student talks in your class, this is the punishment.  If a student throws something, this is the punishment.  etc."  Classroom rules and discipline is left up to the individual teachers.  Usually it's not the big things that are the problem...  I generally don't worry about a kid bringing a gun to school or starting a fist fight in my classroom. Those would fall under the school discipline policy, but just don't happen much where I work. The main problems are the little things... the kids that refuse to do the work, the kids who would rather talk than listen, the kids with the attitude problems...  there is no school discipline policy that deals with the every day problems a teacher encounters and gives clear-cut steps to solve them.
