indisciplined
Without self-control
Indisciplined describes someone lacking self-control, order, or the ability to follow rules and structure.
An indisciplined student disrupts class; an indisciplined approach to work produces sloppy results.
The word is more common in British English, where American speakers would typically say undisciplined.
