It has become the responsibility of public schools in America to ensure that students graduating have acquired a sense of self-discipline over the course of the school’s curriculum.

Teaching Self-Discipline According to Combs (1985), there are four basic principles that are important for educators to understand when teaching self-discipline: (a) Self-discipline is determined by people's perceptions (e.g., feelings, attitudes, beliefs, and aspirations); (b) self-disciplined persons see themselves in positive ways; (c) success experiences contribute to positive views of self and self- discipline; and (d) a feeling of belonging or oneness with others is requisite for self-discipline.
