Classroom discipline is one of the main study topics of contemporary educators. Even in developed western countries it is regarded as the primary problem of education. Classroom discipline is one of the many conditions that are necessary for reaching educational targets. Many factors like desired and undesired student behaviors, student-student, student-group, student-teacher, group-teacher relationships, students' level of readiness, students' attitudes towards lessons, students' social milieu outside the school, teachers' style of establishing relations with students, teachers' lecturing style and physical conditions have a direct or indirect affect on classroom discipline. This makes clear that classroom discipline is actually an issue of relationship and requires a particular importance. In this paper, the author tried to clarify the reasons of discipline problems in classroom, and suggested some practical ways to diagnose these reasons, and to cope with these types of problems.

1Boy Crusoe

By Allan Eric

Also published as" A Yankee Crusoe" . A 15 year old hard working and studious farm boy finds the lure of adventure on the seas as a merchant seaman more than he can resist. This is his story. " I was born in a little town in the State of Maine, near the close of the Civil War. My boyhood life did not differ materially from that of the average farmer's son in the remote country districts of New England--except, perhaps, that I read more and thought more. Hard work on the rugged soil, two terms each year in the little yellow country schoolhouse, a day's fishing now and then filled the early years of my life full to over-flowing. " What he gets is enough excitement and adventure to overflow his wildest dreams. How he experiences disaster and uses his wits and knowledge to overcome every problem makes for a great read. - Summary by Phil Chenevert
