Boarding school education is popular in many countries around the world, as it is believed that boarding helps children develop in many ways, especially in terms of discipline, which is a key factor for future growth and success. But the question is, do boarding schools in Thailand actually help children become more disciplined? This article looks at the pros and cons of the boarding school system from a discipline perspective.

How can boarding schools in Thailand instill discipline in students?
1. Clear structure of daily life
Boarding schools in Thailand have a strict schedule, from waking up, eating, studying, doing activities and going to bed. Each day is organized systematically, allowing children to learn to manage their time effectively and know what they should do when. This may take some time to adjust.
2. Personal responsibility
Students who come to study in boarding schools in Thailand have to take more responsibility for themselves than those who live at home because they don’t have parents or anyone to do it for them, such as cleaning their rooms, preparing study equipment, and managing their personal time. These things help instill responsibility and discipline in them very well. When they grow up, they will become responsible people in both their studies and personal matters.
3. Strict rules
Boarding schools in Thailand are just as strict as anywhere else. In Thailand, there are strict rules about student behavior, such as when mobile phones are not allowed, cleanliness, and following activity schedules. The strictness of each school will vary. Being in such an environment helps children adjust and respect the rules more.
4. Learning through experiences with others
Living with friends 24 hours a day makes children adapt and learn to live together, help each other and be responsible for the community, which helps develop a broader concept of discipline, especially in international boarding schools where students get to know foreigners from different cultures and learn about the differences of each country, allowing them to adapt well and understand other cultures more easily.

In addition to providing intensive education, boarding schools in Thailand can also help children become more disciplined through systematic structure, strict rules, and learning responsibility through living with others. However, the outcome of developing discipline depends on many factors, including the child's personality, the school environment, and family support.
