The Relationship of Discipline & Academic Performance in
High School : A 15 page paper eximining whether higher
standards result in better academic performance. Today’s
discipline concerns have progressed to that of physical safety,
both for teachers and students. Discipline problems are blamed
on TV, society and learning disabilities, among other reasons.
But consistently, it is the school with the greatest expectations
of students and the most clearly stated disciplinary actions for
specific infractions that has the least need for resorting to their
stated consequence, all while producing students of academic
achievement that is well above national mean. Parochial
schools have more freedom to rid themselves of
“troublemakers,” but surprisingly, the average suspension rate
from parochial school is far less than the expulsion rate of
public high schools. The difference appears to lie in higher
expectations for students. Bibliography lists 20 sources.
