Summary
Schools are important institutions of formal social control (Maimon, Antonaccio, & French, 2012). They are, apart from families, the primary social system in which individuals are socialised to follow specific codes of conduct. Violating these codes of conduct may result in some form of punishment. Discipline problems are frequent in schools and they may have a harmful effect on pupils’ learning outcomes. The PISA 2009 report (OECD, 2010) stated that schools registering higher levels of disciplinary problems result in teachers spending less time on learning in order to deal with such issues. Evidence suggests that 13% of teachers’ time is, on average, spent maintaining order (OECD, 2009)
