Parents to learners in schools from urban setting are implored to be more vigilant in inculcating discipline in the children because urban setting is composed of a motley of academic distractions like betting, bars, disco and video halls and drug / alcohol consumption hide outs. A parent must be in touch with school, make regular visits to school, check bags of their children (day scholars) to find out any non-uniform attire. A day scholar must put on school uniform at all times to avoid any vulnerability and temptation. Discipline and academic excellence are intertwined.
