Toward Solving the Disciplinary Problem of Students: Strategies of Some Christian Schools

Matthew Chi-Leung LAU

Abstract

The disciplinary problem of students is an obstacle to effective schooling in Hong Kong. Many schools strive for formulating effective discipline strategies for solving this problem. Some Christian schools have worked out and are practicing some strategies, which are characterized by love and acceptance. They eventually succeed in transforming some misbehaving students into mature ones. The results are heartening. The aim of this article is exploring how these strategies are effective in solving the disciplinary problem of students and motivating more sharing and exchange in the successful experiences.

Keywords: disciplinary problems of students; discipline strategies; Christian schools; love; acceptance
