Book excerpt: The trending conversations amongst teachers and other professionals are showing that detention rates for student school behaviors are climbing drastically; thus, the stress on teachers also rises as they are pressured to teach a curriculum so their students can be prepared to take the end of year test. Yet, when asked by many teachers, they attest that more time is spent on controlling the classroom than on actual teaching. There can be several reasons why student behaviors have plummeted, however, this course is built on the preface that rather than to explore the reasons that caused the stats, we should address and teach Personal Development and SELF DISCIPLINE skills to empower the students as individuals. Starting at an early age, students can learn and unlearn behaviors. Parents fall into the era of being stressed as they attempt to parent their kids while they fight the economic battle of providing for their family. This challenge belongs to all of us to help mold the next generation of leaders.
