Speech on “DAY SCHOOL STUDENTS are more disciplined than Boarding School Students”

Respected Principal, Worthy Teachers and My Dear Friends.

Good Morning.

I am here to express my views on the topic “Day school students are more disciplined than Boarding school students”.

Discipline means following the set of rules and regulations, excercising self-control over body and mind. It also means showing proper manners and etiquette.

So far as discipline is concerned, I think, it comes from within. It is often enforced through fear of punishment. Such a discipline is not true discipline. It can at best be regimentation.

Many parents think that boarding school students show better discipline than those of day schools. That may be because in boarding schools students are required to do lot of their work themselves. Work like washing clothes, making their own bed, getting up early in the morning etc. Such students remain under the control of their teachers more so they seem to be disciplined. These very students, it has been observed, put all discipline to the wind once they come home for vacation.

Day school students are no less disciplined in my opinion. In fact they are often more disciplined because they have tutor control as well as parental control. Their acts of indiscipline are reported and addressed faster.

I strongly believe that discipline as a value, children learn in their families more than at schools. Schools teach social discipline more than personal discipline which is better instilled by parents and which comes more from within. In the end I would conclude that discipline is increasingly becoming a casuality both at boarding schools and day schools. In needs to be nurtured and instilled in all at all times.

Thank you!
