CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

1.1   Background of the Study

In the school system the case of indiscipline rings like a hell. Indiscipline among the youths in secondary schools all over the world has to do with home (raining and personal interest in life.

It seems in some parts of Africa for example in Ondo State what leads to indiscipline among people is lack of discipline from home. Some opportunities have made themselves “goods”. Above others.

Mismanagement of government resources in both human and materials. The issue of indiscipline could be curbed but where a single soul, having about 40 cars to himself and his immediate family members while some people who put their best into their daily assignment cannot even boast of tyre, there not be over spread of armed robbers. When big men are in the habit of cheating the subordinates, indiscipline will spread it mats to stay with us. And the effect of indiscipline on the performance of students in secondary school need to hear of discipline particularly for their children to go and buy cigarette and light the cigarette for them. Inability to have firm control on children is also a root of indiscipline.

Many children dress out of their houses half naked, yet their parents do not seem to sec anything bad in such a manner of dressing. Discipline rewards good behaviour and also gives the school opportunity to shape and influence for the better performance of all students in secondary schools.

Today, the perennial problems or blames of the public attitude toward the public schools have centred on rock of discipline. Also, members of the society talk a lot about indiscipline in our schools. From lateness to school, absenteeism, drug abuse, alcoholism, cultism, to rape and so on.

The blame for all these vices is placed on teachers but the society has to acknowledge one thing that charity begins at home not in school.

Negative home background and negative socio-economic status of parents and so on influence a child toward discipline. After looking at the home intellectual ability which seems to reflect on individual behaviour at school. In order to curb some of these undesirable behaviours in student’s rules and regulations are made in the school in order to achieve discipline.

Peer group is another factor that causes indiscipline in schools. In the family or at schools the child is in a situation of subservience, where power can be exercised over him. In both situations the child is a heterogonous age group where some by virtue of a position based largely on their age, are more powerful than others however, a peer group provide children with experience in egalitarian relationship to possible in the family.
