Teachers'disciplinary power is a fairly controversial, yet unavoidable issue in education. In recent years, teachers'disciplinary power has drawn increasing attention from the public as reasonable exercise of such rights was repeatedly criticized and questioned in this country at the same time that teacher's excessive corporal punishment also became a regular occurrence. First, people have voiced sharply different opinions on whether teachers should have a disciplinary right: there are those who support it and those who oppose it. This has prompted many to reflect upon some fairly fundamental questions: what exactly is teachers'disciplinary power? Do we need it? If yes, what purpose does it serve? And to what extent is exercise of such a right appropriate, reasonable and lawful?All these questions need to be properly answered and explained. This paper attempts to study teachers'disciplinary power and answer these questions from a theoretical perspective.First, this paper will dissect the crisis facing teachers'disciplinary power,and analyzing the reasons behind it. Next, it will attempt to question teachers'disciplinary power from a theoretical perspective, explore its implications and its nature by using relevant concepts, and then discuss the appropriateness of teachers'disciplinary power from philosophical, educational and psychological angles; Finally, this paper traces the history of teachers'disciplinary power and analyzes the practice of this right over time. The paper attempts to construct a theoretical framework for teachers'disciplinary power, with the hope that it may contribute to the fundamental research and the practice of teachers'disciplinary power.
