Therefore, with the behavior accompanied by punishment, the behavior (negative) will be reduced and will not even repeat.     In overcoming this discipline required the existence of school rules, consistency and implementing school discipline and partnerships with parents. Sanctions must not be given emotionally and according to taste, but must refer to existing standards and rules and aim at educating.
