The Goderich Signal-Star, 1981-09-23, Page 24/JP 1 PAGE 6A—GODERIC I SIGNAL -STAR, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 23,1981 BY JACK RIDDELL, M,P.P. School discipline reviewed A healthy, "school at- mosphere", which is a „ product of well-designed programs, enlightened leadership, caring and conscientious teachers, supportive parents and enthusiastic students, is of the utmost importance. An important factor is discipline, not by "rule and rod", but based upon ac- ceptance of responsibility by students, school staffs and members of the community served by the school. Surveys conducted in this province in the last three years show that lack of discipline is consistently perceived by the public as the biggest problem facing our schools. While people are calling for more discipline in our schools, obedience to authority is being eroded in. society generally, usually by forces over which the school has no control. Family breakdown is on the in- crease, drugs are easily available, the legal drinking age has been lowered, and violence is frequently ex- ploited in the mass media. Schools are simply. not equipped to counter these and other trends toward anti- social behaviour, certainly not unaided. However, steps can and should be taken within our schools to offset negative factors which have emerged in recent years - factors such as large schools with im- personal procedures, in- dividual time -tables and loss of home -room identity, an increase of "unscheduled' time for students as a result of the credit system, as well as conflicts arising from students' increased cultural and ethnic diversity. Extra- curricular activities :are known to contribute to a positive school atmosphere, increasing schools' ability to retain students. The loss of teachers due to declining enrolmenthas reduced the range of such activities. Clearly, there is a need to draw more heavily on community resources, bringing parents and other adults into the schools to assist in sports programs and other student activities. It has been suggested that there should be a closer link between attendance requirements and the granting of credits. The Secondary Education Review Project felt that school boards and schools should be provided with an adequate guide for development of • local statements of attendance expectations, to form part of any code of behaviour. Peer group pressure in secondary schools is obvious and inescapable, and should be turned to good user Most students will respond positively . to endeavours aimed at developing fair and supportive procedures, although there will always be exceptions, of course. The relationship between school and community has probably never been more crucial. Changes within our school system need to be explained to the public. In particular, parents need to be "with it" in order to dffer wise advice, thus fulfilling their parental role. Schools need to keep in close touch with business and industrial develop- ments. They are also frequently involved with the courts arie social service age nc ie : • The Project has recom- mended: That the Ministry of Education, in conjunction with other Ministries and agenyte7.
