Discipline at any cost should be the motto

"The main reason for the drop in discipline in schools at present, can be pointed out to the actions of spectators. I suggest the Schools Association of the particular sport take stern disciplinary action against the schoolwhose supporters transgressed in the first place, by banning that particular school. The offenders will then realise the repercussions of their actions, which has befallen their alma mater. The school too, in turn, will realise that it is their supporters' indiscipline that brought about the ban. The best example is the ongoing Euro 2016 Football championship in France. The Russian Football Association was fined Euro 150,000 by UEFA (Union of European Football Associations) for the Russian fans' 'hooliganism' directed against the English fans.

There were fisticuffs between the Russian and English fans prior to the

game. And after the game too, Russian fans invaded the English fans' section and attacked them, with the brawls spilling over outside the stadium as well. The UEFA also sent a warning to the English Football Association as well, on their supporters' conduct.They warned that, further hooliganism from Russian and English fans will lead to suspension of their national teams from the tournament.

In this kind of situation in a school, the public will have a very poor opinion of that school, which is a disgrace to the school. Hence, the school authorities too should take stern action against their students, where the offenders should be punished to realise the seriousness of their actions."
