INTRODUCTION
1.1
BACKGROUND
OF THE STUDY
For obvious reasons, we might be
tempted to undermine the theme of this paper. Reasons are not far fetched; the
topic most academic will say is trite and is of commonplace discourse in the
nook and cranes of the country and the world at large. However, we make bold to
state here that these are mere assumptions. The topic demands our serious
consideration and resolution because of its visible impediment to national
growth and development. Beside, it is a topic of all times. That is its
currencies are without doubt apparent.
This being so, a clear
understanding of the topic begin with an espies on the meaning of the key term
indiscipline. Indiscipline, a derivative of the world, discipline, according to
the chambers Twentieth century dictionary is a mode of life in accordance with
rules, subjection to control.
The oxford advanced learners
dictionary defines it as lack of control in the behaviour of a group of people.
Tuluhi and Bello (1980) assert that indiscipline is the breaking of rules and
regulation of institutions. According to Uwagie-Ero et al (2002) indiscipline
is a state of disorder used by lack of training and control. To this end,
indiscipline can simply be seen as mode of life NOT in conformity with rules
and regulations capable of obstructing the smooth and orderly, functioning of
the school system.
Adeyemo (1985) school rules and
regulations in most cases do affect students more than any other thing because
are made by the school authorities. In order to guide and protect the students
while in school. The problem of indiscipline is more apparent among secondary
school students; indiscipline among them has attracted serious attention of
scholars and administrators. These scholars and administrators attribute
indiscipline among public secondary school students to their state of
development. They opine that when students notice certain biological changes
signaling maturity in the course of their growth and development, they tend to
misbehave by faulting schools rules and regulations (Mukharjee, 1985).
The causes of indiscipline are
based on the acts of indiscipline among students in public secondary school
range from deviation from simple norms and instructions of heinous crimes
infact, the list is inexhaustible. Ozula, (1986) listed some act of
indiscipline which include disobedience, absenteeism, violence, dishonesty,
arson, idleness disorderliness, laziness, vandalization, quarrelling, fighting,
rioting, wickedness, smuggling, jealousy, gossip, drunkenness, greed,
selfishness, discriminations, corruptions, bribery, drug abuse, sex abuse, and
raping other are lawlessness, kidnapping, murder, oppression, misappropriation
of fund and management. Disobedience is the mother of indiscipline. According
to the Holy Bible, from the book Genesis 1:26,3:6, 22-23 says that God created
the world and made man above everything therein still man sinned-disobeyed God
by eating the forbidding fruit the consequence of this indiscipline was great,
god cursed man and drove him out of the
garden.
