Discipline is any training
intended to produce a specific
character or
pattern of
behaviour, especially
training that produces
moral, physical, or
mental development in a
particular
direction. Discipline, while often thought to be
a coercive mechanism, can be a collaborative process of building consensus
regarding accepted behavior within institutions and society.

not be keen to follow your rules. Make sure that if your best
student does something wrong, they too get punished for it."
