superintendent maintain a high
level of school discipline.
The actual application of
discipline begins with the
superintendent when it is made
clear that the board will hold the
superintendent accountable for a
disciplined and business like daily
routine in the schools.
The superintendent must have
pride in the achievements of the
system and identify problems and
search for working solutions as they
exhibit concern for all students.
The next group essential to school
discipline are the principals because
they know the superintendent
is holding them accountable and
because they are proud of their
school and want success.
From here every teacher and staff
person must impose an expectation
for discipline and a business
approach in the hallways and
especially in the classroom every
single day because their principal
demands that professionalism from
all faculty and staff and because
they want to teach and see students
achieve.
Students must clearly know that
disruptive behavior and violation
of rules will not be tolerated
and that there will always be
serious consequences applied on
a consistent basis for violations of
publicized rules.
Yes, there are always mitigating
circumstances, but the chain of
discipline must not be weakened by
favoritism or paybacks.
Teachers who are abiding by
school policy in their effort to
maintain discipline and a learning
Every man desires to live long;
but no man would be old.
---Jonathan S~f-t
Tooth decay is said to be the
second most ,common disease in
the U.S. after the common cold.
to school to learn should not accept
the fact that 1 or more students in a
class are so continuously disruptive
that their child's learning
opportunity is infringed upon,
Nor should they accept the fact
that their child is in a classroom
that is more often chaotic than not.
This is not happening in all
classrooms, but it does happen
to a greater or lesser extent in all
schools.
Let me make the point clear that
every situation of weak discipline
makes the job more difficult for
those who seek a disciplined and
effective learning environment.
Have you visited your school,
teacher, and principal? Are
you questioning your child and
being politely inquisitive of the
administration and teachers about
the learning environment?
Or better still, visit the school
and ask to observe. We all need
to be proactive and constructive
in an effort Of cooperation to
improve schools in spite of the
many roadblocks imposed upon our
efforts.
The WV State Department of
Education governs school discipline
with Policy 4373.
The central point of this policy is
that rather than catch and punish
rule breakers with suspension from
school, we should catch, counsel,
and punish in school in order to
bring about the desired behavioral
changes needed,
This sounds good and has merit as
we have a responsibility to educate
and counsel all students regardless
of their actions in school.

basis.
Principals could then become
the instructional leaders they need
to be and get into classrooms more
frequently in order to he}p teachers
improve their craft of teaching and
aid in developing the basic skills
and objectives of the curriculum.
Insanity is continuing to do
the same thing and expecting a
different result! We are seeing
results that we cannot be proud
of when it comes to student
achievement.
The condition of too many
instances of poor discipline would
be a good place to begin doing
something different.
Obviously, what we have been
doing is not working well. This
can be fixed with a strong chain of
discipline from top to bottom in our
system.
Old people like to give good
advice, as solace for no longer
being able to provide bad
examples.
