c) One way in which ethnic minority children may respond to negative labelling is by a self fulfilling prophecy; if the teacher perceives them to be badly behaved, and then they may start acing that way. Another way they could react is to do the opposite of a self fulfilling prophecy, and go out of their way to try and achieve and behave well to prove their teacher wrong and to prove themselves. Finally, children of ethnic minorities could also become disheartened and depressed by such negative feedback form their teachers, and behave accordingly which will affect both their achievement and attitudes towards school, peers and other adults. d) One way in which schools can be seen as institutionally racist is that the schools curriculum can be seen as ethnocentric in aspects such as school assemblies, school holiday times and aspects of the curriculum such as languages, history and world religions. Another way is that within the classroom, students can be labelled negatively by teachers based solely on appearances and in some cases their ethnic group.
It is because this may not only lead to a damaged relationship between teachers and students, but also can lead to negative associations. Consequently, positive punishment cannot be used frequently. Apart from the above method, there is another way to chastise the students which is negative punishment. Negative punishment is the removal of a favorable stimulus after an unwelcome performance in order to decreases that response, which means if students did something wrong and their favorable things such as toys or smart phones will be taken away as a punishment. Jason, one of my students, as an example, he loves playing PSP and NDS very much, so before
Depression can lead to several thins such as bad grades, wanting to miss school, and lose of interest in anything. The way low self esteem ties in with depression is usually someone who is depressed has a low self esteem. Bullying can actually make a kid start believing what the bully says is true therefore bringing down his self esteem. It is one of the jobs of a bully to lower a child’s self esteem and make a kid feel insignificant. In addition social intimidation can lead to fear among children.
Improper grading can cause delinquency in two ways. Grading a child above their mental level causes the child to fail in their tasks. Grading a child above their mental level is giving them tasks that may seem difficult to them or an assignment that they may not understand. Other students will notice that he has difficulties and may find him unfavorable or stupid. The child will receive a scolding from the teacher.
When students feel the pressure to be perfect from parents, teachers, or peers it causes them to somewhat shut down and not perform well. Getting what the student feels as a bad score can lead to immediate devastation and even more problems later in life. End of semester tests or even SAT scores can cause a person’s self esteem to plummet if they feel it is unacceptable. The high standards that schools now hold can make the self esteem even lower depending on the person. Which such high expectations it is nearly impossible for most students to feel like they have succeeded.
Teachers often misinterpreted their behaviour as threatening when no threat was intended. When teachers acted upon this, pupils responded negatively and further conflict resulted. Gilborn concluded that much of the conflict between white teachers and black pupils stems from racial stereotypes teachers hold rather than the pupils’ actual behaviour. Teachers were less likely to see pupils from other ethnic backgrounds as a threat or to punish them, even if they behaved in the same way as the black pupils. The term ethnocentric describes an attitude or policy that gives priority to the culture of one particular ethnic group while disregarding others.
Perhaps it was born defective, or perhaps it has become imbecile through fear, malnutrition, and neglect.” (LeGuin, 348) LeGuin chooses words to describe the child that creates a feeling of empathy in her readers. By using words like “defective”, “imbecile” and also by referring to the child as “it” as if he/she were not even human, the author draws on her readers emotions to try to reveal the immorality of doing such thing to a child. In “The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas” LeGuin tries to make her argument effective though the use of irony. She begins her story introducing a happy setting, fathers and mothers and children playing, waiting for the Festival of
After spanking children, they will stop what they are doing at the time and will immediately obey their authority. However, a short time later the children will forget about their misbehavior, but the feeling of the abuse will still remain in their recollection. Psychological control is another way parents can punish their child. This method “uses guilt and the child’s gratitude toward the parent”(307). When this is being portrayed, parents may use signs of disappointment and sadness to control the child’s behavior, causing them feel guilt-ridden and upset for what they did.
They know what they want and when they don’t get it, they cry, or scream, or express their emotions in another way. Divorce is a difficult and unpleasant event in life of any person, and children become its victims as well. Of course, they don’t want to lose the possibility of seeing another parent less frequently than another, and thus they express their disappointment in a way usual for them. People start to think that children shouldn’t suffer because of it, and maybe they should try to restore the relationships and so on. But, unfortunately, such tries often end with nothing good and children suffer even more.
And the school just want the right answer, and after learn many other things, they will be wrong , uncertain, confused. Because of the pressure of the school.
