confidentiality of the information, and notrelease the information unless givenpermission by the person.

So, teachers should protect theconfidentiality of students records in order toprotect individuals privacy from violation

A 1974 federal law, the Family EducationalRights and Privacy Act (FERPA), protects theprivacy interests of students in elementaryand secondary schools (and their parents) with

student's parents before certain types ofinformation can be released from schoolrecords.

The development of a set of detailed and

carefully crafted policies will help to avoidconfidentiality violations where the data aremaintained and alleviate the concerns ofparents, students and the public as a whole.

These policies and procedures should refer towho has access to the data, what data will be

maintained, what are the uses of the data, andwhat will be done to ensure secure datacollection and maintenance.


19/22

SELF CONTROL

Self control is perceived in a few ways.

One of which is philosophical and might bedescribed as the exertion of one's own willon one's personal self - their behaviors,actions, thought processes.

Self-control is therefore centered in theability of a person to exert their will overthe inhibitions of their body or self.


20/22

There are three reasons why youngstersdemonstrate deficiencies in self-control:

1-They were never taught the skills.

2-They have not had enough opportunities to

practice the skills.3-They have a metabolic or neurological problem

that inhibits their ability to control theirimpulses.

In order to learn responsible behavior,students need to have some control over theirenvironment.


21/22

They need to feel a sense of ownership fortheir own behavior.

Teachers create this kind of classroomenvironment by discussing rules and sanctions,giving choices, listening to students, and caring

about how students feel.
