Abstract:
Students in Rachuonyo North Sub County have continued to perform poorly in Kenya Certificate of
Secondary Education (K.C.S.E) over the past years. The focus of this study was to look into the
selected discipline strategies specifically suspension, manual labour and sending students home to call
their parents and how these strategies influence students’ academic performance. The study presents
the knowledge of these discipline strategies, how they are executed in schools in Homabay County,
Kenya and how they influence the academic performance of high school students. From the literature
review, academic performance of students before and after these strategies has not been looked into
which necessitated the study. The students’ academic performance b before and after the discipline
strategies is subjected to empirical testing and the test results are likely to equip teachers with the
knowledge on the influence of these selected strategies on their academic performance. Further
research is required to determine
de termine the influence of these discipline strategies in other counties
