Over the course of a school year, observational data and survey information were collected on student behavior problems and discipline policies in a large suburban high school. Analysis of the data indicated that many of the concerns of teachers and administrators centered more around adult behavior than student behavior. Six categories of adult “discipline problems” were identified: inconsistent rule enforcement, noncomplance with discipline policies, insensitivity to students, lack of disciplinary data, lack of classroom management skills, and inadequate administration of disciplinary policies.
