INTRODUCTION

There is a great parasite which is feasting very fast on the entire human race. This parasite was once believed to be epidemic in nature but unfortunately is now observed to be a pandemic which has eaten deep in all the sectors of life whether cultural, religious, marital etc. and educational sector most especially. This parasite in question is no other but indiscipline which has destroyed destinies of potential great people leaving their life in depression, sorrow, confusion and regrets.

Indisciplined persons refuse to accept the realities of life, they continue to day dream of a fantastic and fulfilled life without any attempt on their part to struggle to improve themselves in life. Children who are involved in indiscipline are not necessarily children from homes where there is no discipline or love; on the contrary, too much discipline and love could possibly have led some of such children to drugs and other forms of indiscipline. Some children have become drug addicts as a result of their living and school environments. May be if such children were in a different environment they would not have known drugs (Odebunmi 1994).

In the society indiscipline behaviour have become prominent in the fields of education, counseling, sociology, psychology, law, social welfare, politics and indeed any field that have much to do with human behaviours have in one way or the other affected every aspect of man in his social environment. For example, in schools indiscipline has become a locust, palmer worm, canker worms and caterpillars eating deep into the fabric of the educational sector in Edo State especially in the Benin metropolis. In the light of the foregoing, a lot of studies, seminars, workshop and researches have been carried out and will still be carried out on the incidences, causes, effects and remedies for indiscipline behaviour.

Various groups of people have norms that guide and moderate their living together. It is expected that these norms be accepted, practiced and reflects in the way people live. Any behaviour or act that violates these shared norms is regarded as indiscipline. According to Erikson (1996), Back et al (1977) also hold this opinion in their statement.

The term “indiscipline” refers to conduct which the people of a group consider so dangerous or embarrassing or irritating that they bring sanctions to bear against the person who exhibits. Indiscipline is not a property inherent in any particular kind of behavior; it is a property bestowed upon behaviour by the people who come into direct or indirect contact with it.

In the context of this unit, it implies a turning away from the socially accepted norms of behaviour. Indiscipline is defined in the Oxford Advanced Learners Dictionary (6th edition) as a lack of control in the behaviour of a group of people. Indiscipline behaviour implies that the individual behaviour is out of tune, abnormal, different in a negative sense, a shift from what is supposed to be antisocial maladjustment. In fact, such a behaviour runs contrary to the general norms and behaviour acceptability of the society.

Today in our society there are different cases of indiscipline in our secondary schools. They have spread, like wide fire into all levels of education in Edo State and Benin metropolis in specific.
