Discipline Why is It Necessary?? 0 o iscipline is necessary in school to keep a D good atmosphere for everyone and is more positive than negative, stated Principal, Mr. McHugh. The school discipline policy was enforced the mo- ment a student got on the bus in the morning until he got off in the evening. Mr. McHugh stated, The school's discipline policy was also enforced at all school projects and events such as football games, basketball games, dances and so forth. All the teachers were permitted to carry out the policy for discipline when they felt it was necessary. Mr. McHugh quoted, The teachers act as the parents when the students are in school. Different teachers had different types of discipline for students who broke the rules. Some teachers would make the student write a 1,000 word report on how to behave and some preferred the old fashioned way, they burned them. Other methods were being put in the corner, doing push-ups in gym, lowering their grade, or given penalty hall after school. ill usually just ' told the student what would happen if he disturbed the class again, which was subtracting points from their tinal grade, stated science teacher Mrs. Audra Hodge. Had you been in Mrs. McQueenls class and decided to goof off by doing something wrong or dozing off while class was in progress, something unusual would have happened to you. If a student fell asleep in class, the rule was, anything was fair play, stated English and speechldrama teacher, Mrs. McQueen. A few of her unique penalties given out in the past were: putting a student out to pasture by the flag pole while still asleep; pouring lotion down a sleeping victim's back; tying the shoes together for a student who insisted on having his shoes on the desk and taking ashoe of a person in need of something to borrow so they would remember to give it back Different students also preferred different types of disciplines. lfl had the choice between a 1,000 word report on discipline or a burn, I would probably take the burn, stated freshman Dan Greenwald. Freshman Brad Kania stated, I would have probably taken a written penalty or penalty hall than a burn. Even though most students didn't like discipline, drafting teacher, Mr. Fred Desch stated, iiDiscipline is necessary to create an orderly environment that enhances the learning experience.

Lots of Homework As Much Work for Teachers eachers doing llhomework? Yes, teachers did many things for homework, such as, grade papers and work on their lesson plan. lfl were to average the time that I spent on grading papers, it would have averaged out to be about one and a half hours daily, stated Mathematics teacher Mrs. Janice Carter. On the average, most teachers spent about two hours daily working on grading papers. They also spent another two hours working on their lesson plan. Many teachers also had extracurricular activities to work on after school. For example, Mrs. Judith Aubry taught calligraphy. She worked on her calligraphy lesson for approximately two hours per week. Many other teachers spent extra time after school supporting after school activities. Social Studies teacher, Mrs. Sue Stanifer commented, I tried to go to all the freshman football and basketball games. In addition to their everyday classes, teachers also spent many hours working on their homework to give their students a good education. Mr. Charles Horvath 1 Mathematicsn Physlcal Education
