Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify specific student behaviors that are perceived by school community members as primary discipline problems. Conclusion and Recommendations: It is concluded from the results of these analyses that a variety of differences do exist among members of the school community in their perceptions of student behaviors identified as discipline problems. Educators who are committed to the principles of education have proven to be most effective in the practice of the profession. In contemporary education, the lack of communication among various segments of the community decreases this sense of commitment and, therefore, limits the full implementation of these principles. If schools are to become more effective, all members of the school community must be provided ways to become involved in the creation of the proper learning environment. The primary responsibility for providing methods by which school community members can better communicate their concerns about school discipline rests with administrators, for they are the educational leaders of the schools.
