Effective Communication and Student Discipline in Schools: the Delicate Balance for School Administrators Emily Nyabisi

Effective Communication for Discipline in Schools is a practical guide for school administrators to achieve the delicate balance of student discipline in their schools. This is especially in light of the discipline issues that schools face; ranging from mere insubordination by students to student unrest which is often characterized by violence, destruction of property and loss of lives. The book explores reasons why several methods of disciplining students - including expulsion, suspension, manual work and corporal punishment - have failed; and why school administrators should open up channels of effective communication in their schools as a means for achieving and maintaining student discipline. The book looks at the issues of communication and discipline from the students' perspective. It presents factual evidence, from research conducted by the author, on the causes of indiscipline in schools and the methods of communication preferred by students for enhancing discipline in schools
