• Those who don't believe on themselves,they have academic and behaviour problems.

To make students confident, the teacher should: Make a goal at the start of the year. It will help a student to be focused on their goals. Their goals will be clarified and get a clear idea about their work. They need to be assured regularly that their teachers are always there whenever they want.

Teacher's role in practicing discipline: Students don't learn just bookish lessons from the teachers. They learn behaviour, speaking style and discipline from their teachers. So a teacher should be strict on their disciplinary systems.

Rigor without exaggeration and pomp: Students must be disciplined; However, care must be taken that the discipline or strictness does not reveal pompous or exaggerated behavior.

Maintaining justice among students: In order to maintain humanity and morality, one must try to maintain justice among students. There should never be partiality in judgment.
