Discipline

Though the novels Old School by Tobias Wolff and The Lords of Discipline by Pat Conroy each portray a young male narrator’s experience at all-male, private schools in the 1960s, the two schools they portray are of entirely different natures. The unnamed school in Old School is an academically focused, small, liberal-arts style college preparatory school in the northeast while the Carolina Military Institute of The Lords of Discipline is a rugged, military based school in Charleston, South…

I know humanity to live in a state of brokenness. Article VII of the “Confession of Faith” in our Book of Discipline uses different language to echo this view: “We believe man is fallen from righteousness…” (Book of Discipline ¶104 72). Bishop Scott J. Jones states it this way: “[H]uman beings have a corrupted nature” (Jones 151). My experience in ministry exposes me to this brokenness quite often. Last year, our secretary called me at home to inform me of a young man sleeping on a covered…

this statement as to where teenagers or even parents let their children “get away” with words and actions not suitable for their age. Saddening and upsetting as we see others be entertained at the inappropriate behavior of the child and the lack of discipline the adults seem to shortfall when putting it on their children. Probably during your everyday life you have come across a whining, out of control, disobedient child throwing misfits in the grocery line store. That can be very annoying…

Our group project was about school discipline when dealing with special needs children. One thing I wish we focused on more was alternative methods and what the school can do. When I tried to present the idea to my group, a lot of the times my ideas were pushed aside. I believe there are so many alternative methods that have proven to work effectively at not only the elementary education level, where most people seem to pay the most attention, but also the high school level. I believe schools…

and charts in effect for the Cortes household. The charts I used were for discipline, chores and rewards. The last time I was at Ms. Cortes’ house, the boys had ripped up her list of rules. This made it difficult for Ms. Cortes to enforce them and be consistent. The discipline chart had five steps; step 1. Starting point, 2. The warning, 3. The timeout, 4. No TV or games and 5. Go to bedtime early. Right next to the discipline chart, we hung up the rules. I explained the Time out chart and the…

Michel Foucault, the author of the book Discipline and Punish, describes the birth of normalization and discipline with the opening of the Mettray Prison Colony. He says, “There were penal colonies envisaged by the law of 1850: minors, acquitted or condemned, were to be sent to these colonies and brought up in common, under strict discipline, and trained in agricultural work…The carceral circles widen…We have seen that, in penal justice, the prison transformed the punitive procedure into a…

responsibility. Conflict resolution skills are also used daily in my classroom. For example, my students are taught to say, “I don’t like it when you _________.” This helps them to use their “big voice”. Conscious Discipline has been a game-changer in my classroom. It has helped develop discipline within…

Stem Cell biology is a growing discipline throughout the last 20 years. Even though the science and technology of stem cell development is still in its infancy, it is a substantial and powerful medical advancement. Stem cells can be defined as cells that are able to re-new and differentiate into other cells more specialised cells that take on specific roles inside the body (Melton, D, 2014). Stem cells are undifferentiated at first and are a preferred contestant for tissue and organ regeneration…

father was said to be a white man. His Narrative describes quite a few horrific experiences he had to endure throughout his life as a slave. Fredrick Douglass mainly discusses the poor treatment of slaves by exposing his previous masters and their discipline methods as well as their willingness to take care of their slaves. Ever since the creation of slavery there has been controversy to whether it was formed to benefit everyone taking part in it or whether it was made to benefit certain…
