Show THURSDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1979 PLEASANT GROVE REVIEW, PLEASANT GROVE, UTAH THURSDAY, OCfOBER 11, 1979 McCarty Talks About Discipline in Schools by Dr. Daryl J. McCarty There's little or no confusion in the minds of American Citizens about the biggest pro-blem in our schools. Gallup polls over the past few years have shown time after time that the public sees discipline or the lack of it as the schools largest diffuculty. In fact, nine of Gallups first ten yearly polls on education showed that the public considers discipline matters the most serious problem. Many educators agree. Its a concern that has been around for longer than those ten years. Many have read of Socrates lamenting how children of the Fifth Century B.C. had contempt for authority, contradicted their parents and "tyranniz-ed over their teachers." Yes, its an old problem, but thats no reason to ignore it. Cancer has been around for many cen-turies, but that doesn't discourage science from seeking ways to halt that disease. Discipline is one of educations hnM0t topics. Educators pro-fessional publications use barrel after barrel of ink on this subject. Teachers attend seminars and workshops that deal with discipline. The state Board of Education and other agencies are waging a press, radio and TV campaign aimed at enlisting the coopera-tion of parents, teachers, school ad-ministrators and students in an effort to promote the idea that discipline pays. Lack of it (;osts. Ask any teacher how destructive a disruptive student can be to the learning environment. It can be utterly destroyed for a time, many times if the stu-dent is persistent. When that happens, other students are rob-bed of instruction time they need and want. Parents are teachers, too. If you teach your child respect for teachers and other students, you are pro-bably taking one of the most effective steps possible in dealing with a problem thats older than Socrates.
