Children are the primary beneficiaries of formal education all over the globe.

People who have achieved great success and have had a lasting mark on our society often attribute their achievements to possessing strong self-discipline. To such a significant degree, this is of utmost importance for educators, who play a crucial part in the process of educating students. When it comes to bringing about harmony in the classroom and ensuring pupils are prepared for success, one of the most challenging and time-consuming tasks for teachers is maintaining order and discipline.

Discipline has been a crucial component of the teaching and learning process ever since the dawn of human history. The word "disciple," which may indicate either a follower or a pupil of a master, is where the term "discipline" comes from. Jesus Christ is an outstanding example of an excellent educator. He exhibited a loving, caring, and respectful connection to his disciples just for the sake of instructing and training them, and not to inflict pain, guilt, shame, or humiliation on them.

In spite of the fact that He set a positive example, however, discipline has come to be synonymous with punishment in places where people of various cultures have adopted this method for an extended length of time.

Every teacher has a responsibility to punish their pupil in an appropriate manner, which should not include harming or intimidating them in any way. They need to find out first why it is that they act in such a manner. You will then be in a position to intervene and provide a suggestion for how your pupil should be disciplined.
