One of the most important lessons for any student to learn is how to properly respond to authority. The students must be guided to a proper response to their parents, teachers and to God. In order to accomplish this goal, we must set discipline standards that are enforced fairly, consistently and lovingly.
Since the teacher is the one who works closest with the children, he or she carries the bulk of the discipline responsibility. It is important that the teacher works closely with the parents in these matters. The teachers will contact parents reguarding any problems that they have in this area. It is of the utmost importance that the parents support the teacher in matters of discipline, and it is equally important that the teacher keep the parent informed of any problems.
At times, it becomes necessary for the teacher to send the child to the office. In this event the principal or vice principal will deal with the situation. At that time, the child will be counseled with and, if necessary, disciplined further.
Occasionally, there is a child who does not respond to our ministry. If working with the parents does not bring about a marked improvement in the child's conduct, we reserve the right to remove any child from our school at any time. This will only be done in extreme cases, and particularly when the child is a bad influence or a danger to other children.
At MCA, the emphasis in discipline will always be on love. More than anything else, we want each child to know that he or she is loved. However, love does not
necessitate a tolerance of disobedience, as some people may think. Real, Godly love sets the highest standard for people, then provokes them to love and good works. This is the goal of all discipline at MCA.
