Discipline in the ClassroomDiscipline in a classroom is pivotal. If there is lack of structure and focus, a class will never respect the lesson or the teacher. It is important that a teacher establishes focus, direction, maintains fairness, and control to instill good learning in a classroom. A teacher must always be prepared. It is very important that a precedent be set, and a teacher work hard towards maintaining manners and obedience in a classroom. Respect is of utmost importance. It is very important to have focus and direction in a classroom. Students need to be made aware when a lesson is beginning, and when it is time to settle down. It is important to instill a sense of discipline so when the teacher says its time to quiet down, students should not decide to continue conversations or challenge the teacher.
