Discipline is an ever increasing problem in modern schools. Some people think that discipline should be the responsibility of teachers while others think that this is the role of parents. Discuss both sides and give your opinion.

Nowadays, the disruptive discipline of

children

has become a commonly discussed issue. While some people believe that

teachers

are responsible for fostering the ethical behaviour of

children

, many others assert that

this

responsibility belongs to

parents

. In

this

essay, I will discuss both sides of the argument and explain my support of the latter view. It is true, that

children

spend more than half of their days at school.

Therefore

,

teachers

should pay certain attention to the discipline of their students. Even so, generally, classes have too many students, for a teacher to be able to handle them all.

For example

, I was studying together with 39 more

children

in one class;

thus

, when we misbehaved our teacher had to spend half of the lesson trying to calm us down. Clearly,

this

is not something

that is

expected from schools. In my opinion,

teachers

should focus on the lessons rather than disruptive behaviours. Alternatively,

children

tend to learn everything from their

parents

and imitate them. For

this

reason,

parents

should focus on ethically fostering their little ones.

Additionally

,

children

go to school at the age of 8; by that time,

children

already have certain habits. More specifically,

parents

start fostering their child from an early age

consequently

, they have to teach what is right and what is wrong.

For example

, my mother was reading fairy tales to illustrate bad and good behaviours. To sum up,

teachers

and

parents

are responsible for the discipline of the younger ones at some point.

However

, I believe that

parents

should take more responsibility in fostering their

children

because

children

are small imitations of the

parents

.
