Measures to improve behaviour in schools and tackle bullying are due to be announced by Schools Secretary Ed Balls at the Labour Party conference.
Parents in England will be given a leaflet warning they are responsible for their children's behaviour.
"Parents want their children to go to an orderly school with a strong head teacher who won't tolerate bullying or disruptive behaviour," he will say.
His speech follows Gordon Brown's pledge to reduce anti-social behaviour.
Mr Balls is set to emphasise the importance of discipline in schools - and the rights and responsibilities of pupils, parents and teachers.
