Students' behavior depends on how good the policies of their school are. If the teachers want their students to be well-disciplined, all they have to do is fix their schools and start to motivate them.
Misbehavior In Students Expected To Grow
According to StarTribune, a good example is the High School for the Recording Arts in Saint Paul. The school is expected to face misbehavioral problems as it has a number of overaged, under-credited and homeless students.
However, the said school remains to be very organized and doing well for keeping their students, no matter what their issues are, in different activities and under "individual learning plan." There are a lot of reasons why students get distracted and having behavior problems.
Hence, the schools they are in should set and fix their policies to make their students improved. Students that are motivated by their schools have a lower chance of having behavioral issues.
Schools Must Change
The new standard is the schools should teach their students what they want to know. Fayobserver reported, according to a study, a school must be altered completely to be more efficient and obtain the real change.
As per the late John Chubb, a known expert about schools, only reforming schools that are overhauling itself fully can promise a "new day" for the institution and its students. Mike Feinberg, the co-founder of KIPP charter network, on the other hand, said, "The best way we can look a child in the eye and say with confidence what kind of school and environment we will provide is by starting that school and environment from scratch."
Another professor, Jack Frymier, who's knowledgeable of the school situations because of his career in curriculum and instruction, said: "If young people want to learn, they will; if they don't, you probably can't make 'em." He, too, added schools should motivate their students properly to improve their learning and be well-behaved.
Jack Frymier also explained that motivation should be given individually. Teachers should understand their students' differences to give the right instruction to every student.
