If common sense often works to keep the status quo and perpetuate various forms of inequity and oppression, then any movement towards social justice needs to ask, “Are students learning things in schools that challenge common sense?” Learning is not just about “correcting” what students already know. Learning is not just about students’ acquisition of what some in schools and society have already determined to be the things that they are “supposed” to know. Given the recognition that curriculum cannot help but be partial, learning needs to include refusing to be comfortable with what we already know and what we are coming to know. Learning needs to involve challenging the idea that commonsense ways of thinking about the world–among students and among educators–are the right ways of thinking about the world. Furthermore, given the recognition that critiquing one’s own worldviews can be an uncomfortable process, learning needs to involve chances to acknowledge and work through the resistances and emotions involved in raising awareness.

Discipline has always been an integral part of education. This is done to instill morality among children. Before children were disciplined rather harshly so that they will behave properly. However, due to the development of society, children’s bad actions are no longer addressed properly. Many issues have emerged such as psychological effects of punishment and so on.
