discipline of about seventy present of school boys coming from urban low income families of my country Sri lanka has deteriorated due to various factors. It seems that teachers are unable to restore discipline using soft methodology suitable for a normal student who occasionally break the disciplinary code of the school.This problem is severe among the boys in the age group of thirteen years to eighteen years. Glimpse of bad behavior has even spread to lower grades. Male teachers who try to control this situation have to face a big pressure in the form of threat and beat. Female teachers tolerate what they experience and nothing comes to their escape. This situation is severe for young pretty lady teachers. One can't at the first glance of the school background,see this situation as a real problem. Only the people inside of the school who mingle with them a considerable time can realize this situation. Is learning subjects the only objective of education. Where are the morals ethics and values.
Some boys of the above mentioned social strata come to school with a confused mentality.It seems that they come to school either because of their parents pressure or with the intention of doing some rascality with their friends of the same mentality.It seems that they have forgotten the objectives of coming to school. They behave in a manner unacceptable to the school discipline.fighting ,shouting, hooting, blaming using obscene words, showing nudity, coming to school with unsuitable haircut and unshaved beard, gambling,using mobile phones stealthily, bringing locally made intoxications and cosuming it are some of the misdeeds that they do with this confused mentality.
The social background of these children are a tragedy. About eighty present of the parents of these boys are not educated. Most of their fathers are not well employed. They do odd jobs for their daily expenses. They are either masons,carpenters, drivers. painters, laborers , cleaners or three wheeler drivers.Some of them are total drunkards or drug addicts.Their hair , beard and cloth styles tatoo slogans and styles are unethical and unacceptable and can mislead their school going children. A considerable percentage of mothers has gone abroad, especially to middle east countries to work as domestic servants. Under these conditions parents don't spend enough time with their children. Parents keep these children in charge of their old parents who can be easily cheated by the boys.
