One of the most puzzling and frustrating problems confronting schools today, more so than ever before, seems to be discipline. Whereas most teachers are struggling in terms of establishing discipline, there are some educators who are coping with it. The present study deals with a series of concepts and perspectives regarding disruptive behaviour in schools and it also raises teachers’ awareness of several possible alternatives to punishment.
