In my opinion nothing has 100% efectiveness so i would leave this last question unanswered.

Last time I witnessed that wearing unsitable clothes at school starting being more common among teenagers. It can derive from modern fashion, that students inspire themselves in choosing what they want to wear at school. In this way they many times get inappropriate clothes on. I think other students usually don't care about it, but some teachers are able to warn or even punish them. Many schools intodusing strict punishments for unsuitable clothes, but nowadays more and more principals branch off from rules like that, because this isn't really effective- students still wear what they want to. In my opinion students should be able to choose clothes for school that they want,because suppressing them in things like that is pointless and make no sense.

In my opinion, teachers sometimes tend to overreact to these situations and I almost never witnessed a right, in my opinion, punishment for bad behavior. It’s either that they haven’t done anything or made the situation bigger than it actually is. Calling parents was the most common thing that the teachers would do. In my opinion it is unnecessary, unless the student has done harm to someone else, or tried to, which I witnessed before. From my experience, the methods used to stop these students were almost never effective and after some time, they did the same thing again.
I think that there’s no method that could work for everyone. It really depends on not only what the person did, but also on who they are. Some people may find talking with the principal effective enough, but the others might not take it seriously at all. In conclusion, there’s no successful way to fight the general problem of indiscipline in the schools.

In my opinion, the sources of bad behavior at school have begun at home where the child raised. Our parents give us exemplars and when a child raised at home, where these patterns had been disturbed, we have to struggle with this common issue like bad behavior at school. Sometimes bad behavior isn't a result of disturbed exemplars but it's an emotional response to the atmosphere in the house, where the student lives. By doing some bad things, the student is trying to show that he feels not right.
Every teacher and student have reacted differently, but their reactions had one property – a desire to solve the problem and frustration because they didn't do enough in their opinion to prevent these issues. To solve a problem our principal tried to organize lessons with a pedagogic where students had to talk about bullying, disrupting, or cheating. In the principal's opinion, these lessons were helpful. But in my and other students' opinion, they still didn't eliminate the problem and I think they fuel it.
As a solution, I think a better idea will be a conversation with every student. By doing this, teachers will be closer to students and he will know them better, which will help action to their different attitudes.

I witnessed some kinds of something that you might call a ,,bad behaviour'' and i think i'm pretty confident to talk about this topic. It was mostly not doing homework, talking in class, not paying attention, chesting on tests, useing slurs or curseing and maby sometimes running in halls (but this type of bad behaviour you're most likely to meet in primary or middle schools). In my opinion combating this problem with overreactive teachers and makeing it a big dill while in class can make the student only more stressed than it already is. We will also lose a lot of time. Instead of humiliating them, theachers may try meeting them after class and maby solveing that problem togehter. Something must be off if the student isn't doing their work. For example i can be mental disorders, insomnia, parents getting a divorce or many many other things .But simply talking may not be enough sometimes. If the problem is getting worse or not disappering than teacher can maby try callig a parent and letting them know what's going on. There's no perfect solution how to prevent bad behavior in schools but in my opinion that way can be the most efgective one.

In my whole educational life I have witnessed many of bad behaviours in students community.The most popular is: smoking,talking on lessons,bad vocabulary,bullying and fights between boys in PE locker room..
Now when I'm an alumnus of primary school I see diffrences between my school in past and school that I'm learning in now,I mean people are more mature,kind to themselves and more calm.
The sources of bad behaviour are plenty but in large part it is caued becouse of situation in home, storm of hormones becouse of juvenescence,immaturity.
Reactions of many teachers are very often similar,the most popular:reprimand,
annotation into log book and calling parents.But as teacher's reaction is mainly very serious,students sometimes start laughing or they just keeping themselves in silence.
Teachers try to take some measures to stop them like corridor patrols,doing lessons with specialists or activists or more ,,brutal” methods like threating by talk with head teacher and threating by penalty. I don't know if that measures and methods are effective to all of students becouse,I don't think so but maybe for some people they are.I think there isn't an one universal method or measure to fight bad behaviours but schools should do this one way or another

School discipline poses incredibly meaningful element in the education system. This phrase indicates a mode of behavior, which characterizes submit to rules and regulations apply in a given community. If on the lessons would be missing discipline neither teachers nor students they would be pleased.
Personally, I notice some cases of school indiscipline, usually, it's different kind of bullying (in class or on social media for example). This appearance appears also under the form of swearing, skip classes, ignore teachers instructions, not doing homework, cheating at the exams and a lot more... As can be seen there are many examples of this problem, which may image it's scale.
The sources there are many and they can possess a varied background. According to psychologists the most often reason of bad behaviors can be:
- attract attention other people
- kind of revenge
- feeling of helplessness.
These examples concern mainly children in primary school. Nevertheless, the sources may be extremely diverse and serious, like family dysfunction or mental disorders.
Most often teachers on bad habits respond irritate, reprimand or even call the parents. Unfortunately, such a procedure can only stress students.
It's my belief that if on the lessons prevails an enjoyable and interesting atmosphere, it's a chance to less of school indiscipline. However, the problem is too complex to exist one perfect way, which will solve all cases.

I've noticed it in my school too, but it was just a small nonguilits like: swearing or running. Sometimes students forget to do their homework or not listening/not paying attention in lessons, but it could be caused by illness or something like that. But it always could be more important source of this. In my opinion the cause of that can be problems at home or bad marks at school. Those things can be a real source of these situations and it can trigger frustration. Anyone who faced with such a situation should remember that he is not alone! There are teachers and other students around and they totally do care about that. They can also help other people with their issues and comfort them. School took many measures to stop indiscipline. In my previous school I noticed that there were a few extra lessons performed by specialists. In my opinion, there were kinda effective, however I am not sure if they were successful enough. If you really need help, in my opinion the best way to solve your problem will be having a conversation with a psychologist, best friend or a teacher.

It was mainly bullying and truancy.
Luckily I was never a victim of a thrill, but I know people who have been through this, and I know it is very damaging to physical and mental health. Unfortunately, the school only realized when the problem was already very developed and it was hard to fight it. The methods of fighting with bullying usually consisted of increasing the vigilance of educators and effectively punishing.
Many teachers were concerned about the welfare of the students and we're very committed to reducing bullying. Truancy was another problem, it was completed by an electronic journal, thanks to which parents could view absences, attention grades, and more.
This has helped many students to turn a good path in education and start to appreciate what the school offers us.Bad behavior is often the result of private problems, usually just talking to such a person would definitely help.
You can inform the class teacher about such a problem and help before it is too late.
If you find yourself in a similar situation, do not look for bad reactions, but talk honestly with your loved ones.
