And besides, this is the sort of reaction you would most likely get from a guy when he is deprived of any female contact within a school environment. I say that this book should not be banned. Yes there is violence but we are used to it already. It seems immoral but people are allowed to have their own opinions. There may be a large amount of inappropriate language but we have heard it already.
The use of a taser on students may be a little extreme for me. Students are kids and should be treated in this manner. If a student gets unruly they should be expelled, or sent to detention. If it’s fine to use at school, can it also be used at home by parents? The use of bait cars in our community have been a problem.
Can we really raise children to be moral if we discipline children immorally? The way we discipline our children determines the way they understand what they did wrong, how they will behave in the future and how they will discipline their own children. Unfortunately much of what we do in the name of discipline is immoral and causes more harm than good. This is why bullying has been becoming a more serious problem. In the book "Lost in Transition: The Dark Side of Emerging Adulthood" by Christian Smith, he sheds light on why bullying may be on the rise.
Proof: * “In discussion, teachers pointed out that since it is the policy of the Washougal School District to assign an alternative book to any student who objects on any grounds to reading an assigned one, the attempt to prevent a whole class from reading a book was an attempt to change policy, replacing free choice by censorship” – pg, 257, 1st paragraph * “Censorship, here or in Russia or wherever, is absolutely anti-democratic and elitist. The censor says: You don’t know enough to choose, but we do so you will read what we choose for you and nothing else. The democrat says: The process of learning is that of
Corporal Punishment PSY 101 Introduction to Psychology Is corporal punishment needed to discipline children? Some would argue that corporal punishment is needed to discipline child where others will argue that it is not needed. Forty years ago it was acceptable to punish your child as you saw fit. The problem became that some would take this punishment to a whole other level and hurt the child. Punishing your child for their bad behavior should never cause them physical or mental damage.
According to our text corporal punishment is the gratuitous intentional inflectional of pain on children’s bodies for the purpose of modifying behavior. When a child is being discipline it does not always have to be physical. Sometimes all it takes is for you to say their name, or speak firm to them. Some children have a history of being spanked for no reason so when they get out of the situation and get into a better one all it takes is for them to hear you raise your voice and they know. I also believe that taking things away from them is a great way of showing them that they must do what they are told.
This does not mean that parents have no rights to what happens to their child while they are at school but this allows school to guide student behaviors though discipline. This idea is called in loco parentis (pg. 378). This concept was once more important in schools than it is now but it has brought forth it idea that no matter the student, disabled or not, there needs to be a certain level of responsibility put on all students for their behaviors when they are at school. This would be a great chapter of the book for parents to read because it would help them to understand why the school is doing what it is doing.
In the article “From Lockers to Lockup” Jessica Bennett argues about the issue of bullying. Bennett believes that bullying is bad and questions are schools really the problem of bullying? Can they really do much about it? I agree with her questionings, for example she claims that “cases like this are being invoked as a potent symbol for why, in the digital age, schools need bullying policies and states need legalization” (Bennett). This is true to the point that the schools are already doing all it can do to prevent bullying, however legalizing it has to be the next step so people can become more aware of the seriousness this is.
The education system creates this effectively by teaching subjects such as history, which enables children to see the link between themselves and wider society. Durkheim argued that school serves a function that cannot be provided the family or peer groups and that individuals must learn to cooperate with those who are neither family nor friends, and he says the school is a place where these skills can be learned. Sticking with the functionalist view of the education system, Durkheim believed that school rules should be strictly enforced and that punishments be carried out to the full so it is made clear to the offenders that their actions were wrong. He believes that it is this way that pupils will learn what is wrong in society as a whole. Functionalist Talcott Parsons developed Durkheim’s ideas, and argued that
o You thoughts/analysis/commentary is essential. This is the part of the essay where you show what you know and can infer and decipher from the text. ▪ Example: Ironically, Clarisse is considered “anti- social” by the school system because she is different from the other children. Schools should be teaching the children individuality and freethinking, but in this society that is deplorable and completely unacceptable. Bradbury is sure to include this criticism to emphasize the destruction that an oppressive society has on the children.
