Abstract
The paper explains that a screaming child running through a public area wreaking havoc is an all too frequent example of the failure of modern parents to teach proper behavior and values to their children. Next, the author argues that parents should not give their children constant love and affection without consequences but rather should realize that providing a sense of discipline is a stronger symbol of parental love. The paper relates that children who do not know good behavior and proper discipline are at risk; however, children who have this knowledge have a better chance of growing up to be a well-balanced adult.

From the Paper
"With the valuable teachings of discipline and good behavior, children can acquire many of the advantages that the world has to offer. One of these advantages would be the strong character built inside the mind of a child who has been well disciplined and understands right from wrong. Good character is the true essence of a likeable personality. A person with good character is well respected, in both every day society and in the work place. It is in the childhood years that a child can be molded into a fine adult and one's character can be built with the use of proper discipline. Sue Croley, who is a principal at East Bay High in Gibsonton, told the Tampa Tribune "the real issue is the erosion of children's respect for parents and the gradual loosening of family ties". This quote expresses the lack of discipline and responsibility of today's parent's, and the negative effect it has on children. "Through proper discipline, children obtain the ability to responsibly operate in a family and society that is full of boundaries, rules, and laws by which we all must coexist. Children also gain a sense of security and motivation from these responsibilities to accomplish their goals."

Abstract
This paper presents a detailed examination of school discipline as it relates to students with disabilities.

From the Paper
"For many years students with special needs were shuffled down to the end of the hall and largely ignored. Four decades ago the wheels were set in motion for changes in the system and today students with special needs are provided federally protected rights with regard to their education. While it is exciting and fair that these students be provided an education and are allowed to be taught in regular education classrooms it is unfair to expect these accommodations yet claim if they place a disciplinary burden on the school staff they be disciplined with the same rules as the special education students. Students bringing weapons to school, starting fist fights and other problems must be handled in the same way that regular education students are for the safety of the overall school population."

Abstract
The paper reviews the modern transition from a society where spanking was the norm to one where it has little acceptance. The paper cites several arguments both for and against spanking. It continues to list several alternative methodologies for child-rearing, including democratic parenting. The paper concludes that avoiding physical discipline will best lead to "healthy, normal, well-mannered children who learn respect at an early age and never forget it."

From the Paper
"Spanking these days is grounds for having your children taken away. It has happened, and continues to happen, when a child complains in school (and the teacher or school nurse see some bruising) or when concerned neighbors see or hear a child being spanked. It is, as the library correctly states it, corporal punishment. And child welfare agencies now take a very dim view of even the slightest hint of spanking as a means of hurting the child."

Abstract
This paper explains that encouraging children verbally instead of punishing them is often more appropriate for children who are very young, but there is no specific age at which discipline or punishment is actually appropriate. The author points out that the best way for parents to decide whether or not to utilize punishment is to determine whether the punishment conveys the idea that the behavior in question was unacceptable and that the parent is not happy about being required to punish the child. The paper stresses that, generally, parents who punish their children more often than once a week may need counseling for issues relating to the strictness of the rules that they have or the over-punishment of children who may not deserve it.

From the Paper
"Another thing that is extremely significant when punishing the child, however, is to investigate what reasons the child actually had for misbehaving. For something that is a normal part of development such as poor speech when a child is first learning to speak, thumb sucking, or toilet training accidents, a child should never be punished. Children should also not be punished for something that is truly accidental. When punishing the child the child should understand why the punishment is required and the explanations should be age appropriate. Punishment should also be fair. If it is directed toward the child it is seen by the child is being cruel behavior and when it is directed toward the misbehavior itself it is often seen as more realistic for the child. Children should never be humiliated or treated as though they are stupid or worthless because they have done something wrong."

Abstract
This paper relates that in order to truly understand the need for administrative disciplinary support within the classrooms, one first needs to understand what the classroom discipline problem is and why teachers alone are unable to provide effective classroom management, and should not be expected to. To provide an idea of the disciplinary problems found in the classroom, this paper will take a brief look at the challenges created by the increasing number of students with behavioral and/or emotional disorders.

Introduction
The Need for Administrative Disciplinary Support
The Principal's Role

From the Paper
"Finally, as has been previously alluded to, the principal must also act as an administrative resource to the individual classroom teacher. By resource it is meant that the principal must devote time and money towards educating classroom teachers on disciplinary issues and classroom management strategies. The school should devote in-service time to this topic, along with having the administration open to teachers to come and discuss disciplinary questions and issues with them."

Abstract
Through the examination of Michel Focault's works, "Discipline and Punish" this author first examines the efficacy of varying modes of disciplinary action, from brutal torture as a means of punishment, to constant surveillance, used as a more dissuasive device. The author discusses how different institutions over the years have acquired and maintained power. Finally the author explores Focault's "The History of Sexuality" and discusses the nature of human sexuality, ultimately propounding the argument that human sexuality has evolved into a tool that power-wielding institutions use to dictate how we live. Evidence of sexuality as a disciplinary instrument includes church confessionals, lecturing children on the dangers of masturbation, the implementation of one-child policies in overpopulated countries, and "family planning."

From the Paper
"If sexuality is ultimately, a tool how then did it develop into this and what is its purpose? Current definitions of sexuality refer to either the sexual act itself, coitus, or referring to the gender differences of man and woman. However, this does not give the complete picture for sexuality as a tool. It is more interesting to note that, as Foucault claims, sexuality was invented; it is a "concept designed to give order, unity, and the status of natural inevitability to a bundle of discourses and administrative policies." What was the history of sex then? How did it emerge? If we take a step back in Western history we would remember the middle ages as being characterized by a single powerful institution, the Church and inside this institution developed one "main ritual we rely on for the production of truth: the confession."

Conclusion

From the Paper
"A new study of more than 2,000 parents in the journal Clinical Pediatrics found fewer than 9 percent of parents explicitly admit to spanking their kids ages 2 to 11. At the same time, 40% say they were spanked as a child and use the same discipline methods as their parents. Are parents just uncomfortable admitting they spank their children, or are they really spanking them less than their parents spanked them? Dr. Robert Murray, who studied the issue of corporal punishment in schools for the American Academy of Pediatrics says both are true, and the stigma surrounding spanking is a good thing. "When there was a social norm of spanking, it shielded abuse," he says. "Maybe if parents are scared to admit to spanking, they'll think twice about actually doing it.""
