Self-Discipline and Catholic Schools

Regardless of where you are in the current discussion about school discipline, one thing seems to be certain: self-control is far superior to what is externally imposed.

For many years, Catholic schools have focused on the formation of sound personality, especially self-discipline. But how useful is this? We would like to know if a student at a Catholic school is actually more self-disciplined than a colleague - if so, those schools can teach other public and private schools how to train them it can.

In order to lead the research, we recruited Michael Gottfried, associate professor at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB). Jacob Kirksey, a doctoral student at the University of California at San Diego, supported the analysis of the data and co-authored the report. To the best of our knowledge, their first research is to explore the potential impact Catholic education has on elementary school self-discipline.

Gottfried and Kirksey analyzed two nationally represented elementary school data collected as part of the infant longitudinal study kindergarten (ECLS-K).

Catholic school students are less likely to become obvious or destructive than other private schools and public school students. According to their teachers, Catholic school children quarrel, quarrel, act impulsively, and often do not interfere with ongoing activities.

Students of Catholic schools are more self-disciplined than students of other private or public schools. Specifically, they tend to control their temperament, respect the property of others, accept the ideas of classmates, and deal with their companionship pressure.

Regardless of demographics, Catholic school students are more self-disciplined than public schools and other private school students. Therefore, there is at least some evidence that participation in Catholic schools may benefit all children.

It is important to recognize that these findings are not causal. Despite the fact that the authors are trying to establish a seemingly healthy control group, there may be differences that can not be observed between Catholics and other private school students. However, the findings show three main points

A school that emphasizes self-discipline and focuses on it may make children better develop

Other schools can learn from Catholic schools from the viewpoint of self discipline

We should not underestimate the power of religion to have a positive influence on children's behavior - religious should not restrict family choices

To some extent, the school selection program can expand access to the university, enhance academic ability and promote self discipline - Catholic or other - they deserve our eternal support

Catholic schools are known for providing a social atmosphere that contributes to learning and personal growth. Most Catholic schools are private institutions that provide students with a traditional and systematic learning environment. Catholic schools have traditionally been gender-specific educational institutions, but many Catholic schools currently offer education for coeducation. Modern Catholic schools combine Catholic traditions (prayer, confession, discipline) with modern facilities and teachings. Catholic schools are known for academically successful students who succeeded in their disparity. Because Catholic schools focus on reading, writing and learning, they tend to train graduates with higher literary achievements. The fact that Catholic schools often have strict academic standards can explain why Catholic school graduates are likely to enroll.
