\nCited Script for C&I 212 on Discipline
\n
\nSarah: Palm Beach Florida- a 14-year old disabled student was referred to the principal for \u201callegedly\u201d stealing $2 from another student. The principal called the police and the student was charged with strong-armed robbery and held in an adult jail for six weeks. Charges were dropped when a 60 Minutes crew showed up at the boys hearing.
\nThis is only one example of the over-riding problem with Zero Tolerance.
\nhttp:\/\/ilstu.vcolr.org\/CourseEntry\/CourseEntry.asp?CourseID=79&TermID=107<\/a>
\n
\nAlex: According to Augustina Reyes in her book titled Discipline, Achievement, Race, Zero Tolerance is defined as a public school discipline policy that applies automatic prescribed mandatory sanctions for student discipline, infractions with little or no consideration to the conditions, circumstances, intent, or understanding of the individual committing the offense.
\nhttp:\/\/flickr.com\/photos\/76711735@N00\/114833886\/<\/a>
\n
\nRachael: That means that for even the simplest of infractions, major consequences can ensue, without consideration of the circumstances.
\nhttp:\/\/ilstu.vcolr.org\/CourseEntry\/CourseEntry.asp?CourseID=79&TermID=107<\/a>
\n
\nSarah: There\u2019ve been many methods of discipline throughout the history of school wide discipline. The three main types of discipline used were corporal punishment, psychological abuse, and assertive discipline.
\n
\nAlex: Corporal punishment is defined as the infliction of pain in response to an offense committed by the student. Classroom teacher had the most control over how much pain was inflicted. School discipline of the west generally avoids physical correction, however, paddling remains legal in several states of the U.S, but that is the only exception to the rule. The UN Study on Violence Against Children sets a target date of 2009 for universal prohibition of all corporal punishment.
\nhttp:\/\/ilstu.vcolr.org\/CourseEntry\/CourseEntry.asp?CourseID=79&TermID=107<\/a>
\n
\nRachael: The other type of punishment that was used in the past was psychological punishment. This is a form of abuse characterized by a person subjecting or exposing another to behavior that is psychologically or emotionally harmful. This consisted of neglect, physical intimidation, scare tactics, and oppression. Any situation in which the repeated and extreme impact of a situation affects a person's emotional and rational thinking, in such a way as to adversely impact their later lives, could be termed as psychological abuse at some level CITATION NEEDED. Both corporal and psychological punishment are illegal now in the united states.
\nhttp:\/\/ilstu.vcolr.org\/CourseEntry\/CourseEntry.asp?CourseID=79&TermID=107<\/a>
\n
\nSarah: Lastly, the type of discipline used today is assertive discipline. The main idea of assertive discipline is the use of guided direction, clear, concise rules, and rewards for good student behavior. Assertive teachers use a \u201ctake control\u201d approach to thinking in a firm but positive manner. Assertive discipline consists of three parts:

\n
\nConstructivist \u2013 internalization of social skills and moral sense, students weigh consequences of their actions, self discipline.

\n
\nRewards system \u2013 Rewarding students for good behavior.
\n
\nRachel: Discipline is a natural aspect of school. Admit it, no school is perfect.
\n
\nSarah: That\u2019s right. Schools can reinforce discipline in many aspects such as good teaching, parent involvement, and standard school wide disciplinary codes.
\n
\nRachael: In addition, school staff should be encouraged to enforce rules, otherwise, the school code would become useless.
\nhttp:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/greenwood100\/2051304678\/<\/a>
\n
\nAlex: I\u2019ve also seen creative ways in which schools reward good behavior, such as the Platinum Award Cards, which are given to students that display good behavior. At Selly Oak Trust School in Birmingham, students are rewarded for good behavior, and are given cards which allow them access to a \u201cgame lounge\u201d where students can play the Nintendo wii, as well as other console games. The principle claims that the introduction of this reward system has halved the time teachers have spent on discipline
\nhttp:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/fleur-design\/1394346975\/<\/a>
\n
\nSarah: Brooke County High School in Michigan is utilizing a PBS system, which stands for Positive Behavior Support. This Bill Bond said it best when he said, \u201cThe more you reinforce positive behavior the more positive behavior you are going to get.\u201d But, "You have to be negative at times and you have to be consistently negative when there is a certain behavior you are trying to eliminate. You can't ignore it and think it will go away."

\n
\nRachael: Russ Skiba, a professor at Indiana University who researches school discipline for the Center for Education and Evaluation Policy, stated that \u201cthere is a high rate of repeat offenses among students who are suspended - so it's not a deterrent.\u201d
\nhttp:\/\/www.bridges4kids.org\/PBS\/articles\/AP2-13-05.htm<\/a>
\n
\nAlex: The major concern of most teachers in education today is how to improve student discipline. This concern is also shared by parents as reflected in the 1980 Gallup Poll Survey, which showed the number one concern of all surveyed individuals to be the decline of discipline in the public schools. In addition to this national study, a survey of Fairfax County, one of the largest public school systems in the United States, showed that the teachers' number one request centered on activities to improve student discipline.
\n
\nSarah: The major question about discipline by the teachers is where to begin.
\nhttp:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/jeffseltzer\/1461223223\/<\/a>
\n
\nRachael: This is difficult because teachers are not in full control of their classrooms due to laws, requirements, and state codes. As a result, suspension and expulsion are often resorted to.
\nhttp:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/lynn_fagerlie\/315184999\/<\/a>
\n
\nSarah: Removal from school and the regular classroom for suspension and expulsion reverses all knowledge about \u201ctime on task\u201d. This means that the more on task you are, the better you are learning the material. Basically this runs along the logic of, \u201cif you\u2019re not in school, you can\u2019t learn\u201d.
\nhttp:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/jeffseltzer\/1461223223\/<\/a>
\n
\nAlex: A critical aspect of student discipline is parent involvement. Schools should encourage parents to be involved in the student\u2019s life.

\n1.) Three disciplinary systems used in the past for controlling student behavior include corporal punishment, psychological abuse or neglect, and assertive discipline. Although two of these three topics are illegal at this time, they were all widely used in schools in the U.S.
\n
\nCorporal punishment in general can be defined as the infliction of pain or confinement as a penalty for an offense committed by a student. During the time that corporal punishment was used by schools all over the United States and Canada, parents did not have any say in school discipline. It was completely up to the school authority figures on the type of punishment and the severity of the punishment given to the student. The classroom teacher had the most say in
\nthe matter.
\n
\nAssertive discipline is an approach to classroom management developed by Lee and Marlene Canter. It involves a high level of teacher control in the class. It is also called the "take-control" approach to teaching, as the teacher controls their classroom in a firm but positive manner. The approach maintains that teachers must establish rules and directions that clearly define the limits of acceptable and unacceptable student behavior, teach these rules and directions, and ask for assistance from parents and\/or administrators when support is needed in handling the behavior of students.
\n Part of this approach is developing a clear classroom discipline plan that consists of rules which students must follow at all times, positive recognition that students will receive for following the rules, and consequences that result when students choose not to follow the rules. These consequences should escalate when a student breaks the rules more than once in the same lesson. But (except in unusual circumstances) the slate starts anew the next day.
\n
\nPsychological abuse or emotional abuse is a form of abuse characterized by a person subjecting or exposing another to behavior that is psychologically harmful. Psychological abuse can take the form of physical intimidation, controlling through scare tactics and oppression. It is often associated with situations of power imbalance, such perhaps as the situations of abusive relationships and child abuse; however, it can also take place on larger scales, such as Group psychological abuse, racial oppression and bigotry. A more "mild" case might be that of workplace abuse. Workplace abuse is a large cause of workplace-related stress, which in turn is a strong cause of illness, both physical and mental.
\n Any situation in which the repeated and extreme impact of a situation affects a person's emotional and rational thinking, in such a way as to adversely impact their later lives, could be termed as psychological abuse at some level.[citation needed]
