Who is better placed to check the discipline of our children? Parents or teachers?
Traditionally, it has been the role of the parent to ensure that the discipline of the child is enhanced. However, due to modernization, parents have become more busy with employment life and have insufficient time to learn about their children and discipline them when and where necessary.
By the time the parents realize the true colors of their children, they are already out of hand sometimes beyond repair
Most are times when such parents end up blaming the teacher claiming lack of responsibility on the part of the teacher owing to the fact that the child has been with the teacher for more than 9 months out of 12 months in an year and even then, they only have an hour or two with the child during the three months when the child is at home.
Should we accept the reality that the teacher is better placed to instill discipline in children? Should we give teachers more power to check and correct indiscipline cases?
