Which is a responsible cause of growing indiscipline in schools ?

Correct option is B

The correct answer is (b) Lack of leadership by teachers.

Teachers are not only educators but also leaders and role models in a school environment. A teacher with strong leadership skills helps create a structured, disciplined, and motivating atmosphere for students. Lack of teacher leadership leads to confusion, lack of clear expectations, and diminished authority in the classroom, which in turn contributes significantly to indiscipline among students.
