NOTE

Discipline and Educational Standards Relationship

Discipline in schools is essential to establish order and create a safe environment for students to learn. In a disciplined setting, teachers are in charge, creating an atmosphere where kids can feel safe to participate, ask questions, and even go to the toilet without fear. The relationship between discipline and educational standards is interconnected. Chaos in the school can hinder teachers from effectively teaching, and discipline alone cannot be enforced through punishment. It is crucial to have the majority of students buy into the disciplinary system by providing them with quality education. Students at Michaela feel safe, learn significantly more than in other schools, and have a sense of achievement, contrary to merely boosting self-esteem with empty praises and participation trophies.
