Many schools these days have problems with poor student behaviour. Why do you think these problems occur? What could be done to tackle these problems.

A child's code of conduct in the

school

is as equally important as his learning. The unacceptable and bad attitudes among children nowadays has become a major concern for most schools.

This

essay would highlight the possible causes of these illicit behaviours as well as provide solutions to address them.

To begin

, one major reason why students behave poorly at

school

is that they are being neglected and given insufficient attention at

home

. With the increasing pressure on parents to provide and cater for the family, many of our wards are no longer given enough care nor taught good morals at

home

.

This

has resulted to most children learning from their fellow peers, who in most cases are

also

not properly trained.

Also

, there has been a significant decline in the rate at which high schoolers are being punished both at

school

and their various homes. Some punishments and disciplinary actions

such

as flogging, kneeling down and manual labour which were given to ill behaved students in the past are no longer used as a form of correction and discipline.

For example

, teachers are no longer allowed to flog students when they behave badly in most Nigerian schools because of the fear of their parents getting overly displeased with

such

manner of correction. One way to solve

this

problem is for the teachers to be allowed the freedom of correcting children who have misbehaved, without any restriction.

This

would ensure cooperation and acceptable conduct in the

school

premises.

Similarly

, parents and guardians should endeavour to give their wards enough attention at

home

, provide their daily needs

accordingly

as well as inculcate good morals in them. To buttress

this

, recent studies done has proven that if a child is catered for adequately at

home

, he would be well behaved. In conclusion, bad behaviour among students have become a challenge for many schools nowadays. Parents as well as teachers should put in their very best to ensure proper behaviour among children in the learning environment.
