Disciplinary rules are necessary for students to benefit
from education and training activities without any problems or
shortcomings in the school environment. Governed by regulation in
Turkey, these rules prescribe such penalties as reprimand, short-term
suspension, changing of schools, or exclusion from formal education
institutions. Conversely, various national and international legal
arrangements define children‟s fundamental rights and freedoms.
Students below the age of 18 are also entitled to fundamental rights and
freedoms by reason of such legal arrangements. One of these
arrangements recognises the freedom of thought and expression. The
children's/students' freedom of thought and expression within the school
environment, as well as the limitations thereof, are of a disputed nature.
In light of such disputes, the problem addressed by the present study
concerns the evaluation of the effects of disciplinary regulations and
practices on students‟ freedom of thought and expression in line with
students‟ own opinions
