School discipline is the system of rules, punishments and behavior strategies appropriate to the regulation of children or adolescents and the maintenance of order in schools. Its aim is to control the student’s action and behavior. An obedient student is in compliance with the school rules and code of conducts.
According to Ajala (1995.4) as cited in Oni, (2010) “The environment outside the school may have great effect on the student and may contribute to his behavioral problems.
Dobson (1984;7) as cited by Oni (2010) also stated that, “ Without being incessantly pessimistic, it is accurate to say that, the traditional concept of morality is dead among the majority of high school students today.
Based on the two assertion mentioned above, it is very clear that there is every need to guide the students into the right paths because, that is one of the function of the school. The school served as an agent of socialization, where people can be taught good morals among other things.
In his reaction to the Nigerian secondary school challenge, Oni (2010) submitted that “provision of curative measure with specificity seems in avoidable…..” He described discipline in secondary school as a curative measure ‘Hence in specific reference to secondary schools in Nigeria, a cursory view is taken purposely in locating possible ways of improving the academic standard, discipline and achievement of our secondary schools “in his book titled “Education In Perspective” the (author) who expressed great concern over the falling standard of education and moral values in our secondary school.
