Opinions are divided on whether someone who breaks the school rules should be identified publicly in order to discourage similar behavior. However, others think that disciplinary solving should be handled in private. From my perspective, I firmly support the solution that handled privately because of the identity protection and give pupils a chance to correct their mistakes.
First and foremost, the idea of identifying publicly offenders is advantageous to a certain extent. Chief among these is that it could use the power of social comments to discourage someone who could break the rules. By doing so, the number of students breaking the rules will be decreased significantly and therefore decline the number of the rules that are broken. Beside that, identifying offenders who break the rules will tell another student about the punishment of these rules and what they have to do if they break the rules. This will help several schools control their students’ discipline and help them keep their reputation perfectly.
On another hand, handling students breaking the rules in private also brings about worthy benefits. Firstly, it helps to keep students’ identity private and prevent them from spoiling their reputation. When their identity is kept privately, they will think that they also have another way to correct their mistakes and it brings to them other opportunities to prevent their mistakes in the situation that they could be reoffend. Moreover, as a student who breaks the rule by accident if they are in an unwilling situation can have the chance to explain and therefore they have time to correct their mistake. This practice will help decrease the amount of offenses in school but still keep their reputation. In the long term, the number of pupils breaking the rule will decline to a stable level.
In conclusion, the idea of handled breaking rules on private seems more advantageous due to the identity protection and the chances to pupils as they want to correct their mistake.
