ABSTRACT
This chapter concerns the processes of applying discipline to pupils who enter the school. It discusses the mechanisms that are set in motion in order to apply an order to the pupils at the process of entering a school, lining up for the morning prayers and finally entering the classroom. The concept of lining up students, either as an embodied practice or as a practice imposed by school authority, seems to be of primary importance for the learning of discipline in general. Mostly the security men are directing the operation of keeping the students in line as they enter the school. The leaders are in charge of guarding the inner gate of the school after the morning prayers has begun again; pupils of the kindergarten are excluded, as they are not expected to have incorporated discipline sufficiently.
