We Hear You: Bringing Discipline Back to the Nation’s Public Schools

Ken McIntyre / August 26, 2018

Editor’s note: As children return to school, discipline and safety are on many parents’ minds. One idea about how Education Secretary Betsy DeVos can make a difference drew responses from our audience. Be sure to write us at letters@dailysignal.com.—Ken McIntyre

Dear Daily Signal: Efficient and excellent teaching and learning cannot happen in a classroom without strict and proper discipline, as Jonathan Butcher suggests in his commentary (“Betsy DeVos Should Get Feds Out of School Discipline Policy, Withdraw Obama-Era Guidance”). When unruly students disrupt classes, teaching and learning stop.

For such students to learn better behavior and improve their own learning, there must be consequences to repeated disruptive behavior, and it shouldn’t have anything to do with race, etc., just the behavior.

Discipline:
It's a Euro/Asian thing.

For others, not so much.

This misses the point.  The government schools can start enforcing "discipline" all they want, but if they're still filling little heads with lies and propaganda, it won't be an improvement.
