INTRODUCTION

RATIONALE

The Banate National Highschool (BNHS) students are eligible to follow the school rules and
regulations. The school rules and regulations are important to follow because they pertains to
instructions and respecting everybody. These are so much valuable skills to learn to enable
school or a class to run smoothly and peacefully. Discipline oneself should be the first thing to
do. Because if a person has a discipline to herself or himself, he or she will be able to act as a
good person to others and put proper characteristics in various daily living. Every school is
required by government regulations to maintain discipline and to issue disciplinary rules for
strict compliance. Concrete, reasonable and fair discipline is the foundation of an effective and
efficient institution.

According to Kumar (2016), discipline in school life is very important for students. We can’t be well
educated without discipline. Without learning and the following discipline in school life can cost students
later in their career. In school education, discipline is a set of rules & regulations that remind us of the
proper code of behavior. Discipline is ever more important during school life. But discipline is not only
important for school students it’s for everyone. Discipline is a self-improvement practice. It is what helps
us all to achieve our goals in life. And that’s why I think implementations of discipline in students mind
help them to achieve their goals and dreams later in life.

Malayan High School of Science (2013) states that s tudent discipline is one of major concerns and
issues at the center of adolescents’ life in the school. MHSS implements a set of school rules and
regulations that em¬bodies standards of behavior befitting mature and responsible adolescents. MHSS
students are expected to observe standards of behavior that are stated as Commit¬ments to a life of
Discipline, Excellence, Integrity, and Responsibility (DECIR). Dedication and adherence to these standards
of behavior contribute to the attain¬ment of the school’s mission and goals. The act of enrollment
confirms the fact that the student and his parents agree to abide by the school policies, rules, and
regulations on discipline.

In the locality, researchers found out that some of the students are following the school rules
and regulations but some of them are disobeyed it. That's why, the school implement strict
rules and regulations like waste segregation. There are assigned students to regularly check the
classrooms garbages if it's segregated or not. Then, to those who maintained cleanliness will be
rewarded soon. Also, to those who are not maintaining waste segregation. This is one example
of strategies of the school to maintain the discipline.

The researchers would like to conduct this study to know the experiences, situations, and
strategies of students in following the school rules and regulations.

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

This chapter presents the review of related literatures that have a bearing
with the present study.

The Role of School Discipline on Students’ Academic Performance in Dar Es

Salaam Region, Tanzania

According to Mussa (2015), the ultimate goal of any educational system was the
provision of quality education and training. The academic performance of the students
will not be success without school discipline in teaching. The term loco parentis which
literally means “in the place of the parents, to educators” was applied by William
Blackstone in 1770. The teachers has the ability to act as a parent and put a disciplinary
actions given by the loco parentis (Conte, 2000). Discipline in school is a very significant
aspect towards academic excellence. On the other hand, the problem rises on its lack
such as lack of vision and mission, poor time management, irregular attendance and
punishment. The achievement of goals, expectation and responsibility in students helps
by the effective discipline (Dunham, 1984:66). A good image of the school and good
discipline prepares the learners in the future. With good discipline, disruptive behaviour
will remove amongst learners at school. The implementation of effective discipline at
school is a key for the learner in his journey to be mature and sensible, not childish. By
it's meaning, discipline is the ability to bring off rational directions or orders to reach
proper standards of behaviors. It is understood to be that ideal quality in human being
which is consociate with and able to be seen by a person's ability to do things well at the
right time , in the right event or situation that you cannot control with or without little
guidance. If the students are to benefit from the opportunities offered to them, school
discipline is a vital element in any educational institution. It ruin the teacher-learning
environment when there's an indiscipline in schools, and consequently, school strikes.
Some schools become actually being prisons as they build a huge walls and expensive
fences to safeguard good students, teachers, and property against undiscipline
students. For teaching and learning, school rules and regulations should ease
administrative work, should focus on the innovation of good atmosphere. Assuredly, a
person involves discipline as a preparation for her to be a complete and productive
member of a community; the one who knows his/her obligations to their community was
a discipline member of a community.

lmportance of Dicipline in School Life

A detailed description on importance of discipline in school life was given by Kumar (2016). It is
important that student should be decipline in school and it is part of student life. Its because without
discipline we cant be well educated with out learning and following school life discipline and policy, it
can cost students later in thier career. In education school, decipline is said to be a set of policy , rule and
policy, rule and regulations that remind evry student of what is proper code of behavior, and it is even
more important in school life. But it seems like descipline come to be not only important for students but
also for every people. Its because its self important practice which helps us to achieve our dreams in
life.Thats why think implementation of in students remind them to achieve their goals and dream in their
life.But sa to say ,there are students who try to escape the rules and regulations and that if desciplined is
not maintained or strictly govern.That iswhy desciplin is really important and play such role in a student
life.If a student are aligned to the objective,then the future of the country will be excessive.
