Implementation of School Policies

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

The teaching profession entails a lot of deep concern, patience, kindness, understanding, creativity, artistry, devotion, and commitment. It is concerned with character building, solving problems, mental development, social and cultural values, emotional and psychological stability that focuses on human development. School policies play a vital role in human development. It serves as guidelines, codes or disciplinary standards that give students a sense of direction to become righteous. The researchers opted to conduct this study because in their observations as being classroom teachers for two decades, some violations committed by the students were not properly solved due to the absence of students' manual on the rules and regulation.

METHODS

The descriptive method was used in this study. The researchers used questionnaire-checklist that was composed of three parts; attendance and punctuality, discipline and serious offenses, and wearing of proper school uniform. The questionnaire aimed to determine the extent of implementation of school policies. The researchers gathered data and analyzed, classified, and tabulated data about the present and prevailing conditions, processes, and trends and took accurate interpretation of the data.

RESULTS

The school policies are very much implemented in Pililla National High School as perceived by the teacher and student-respondents. There is no significant difference in the implementation of the school policies as perceived by the teacher and student-respondents in Pililla National High School. Likewise, the biggest problem encountered by the teachers in the implementation of the school policies was parents who do not accept that their child committed mistakes in this school.

DISCUSSIONS

The flaw of this study is that there is a contrasting policy regarding the wearing of proper uniform. The Department of Education ordered that the students should not be required to wear proper uniform. However, in the entire Philippines, all public students are wearing school uniforms.
