Once you treat your students as 'customers', then you have to please the students, and discipline takes on a soft approach. Students do as they please because there are no logical consequences for the smaller offenses that they commit.

Most schools are not concerned about academic results because intelligence is distributed on a bell curve and concentrated in certain schools e.g. IP and IB; The schools rather have KPIs involving holistic education, meaning less emphasis on academics and more on non-academics .e.g. aesthetics and character, which are hard to quantify.

Thus, if you have good grades, had good experience in your school days and wants to teach, better think twice about joining teaching; what schools need and want nowadays are event planners. Students can always go for tuition, and it is an open secret.
