Children are hindered by these kinds of schools, teachers and peers lay a big role in the children’s lives. Some teachers are there for the income it will bring into their house hold and not the well-being of the child and students are pressued by their peers into thinking that education is lame and for losers. In most cases this is what children of low income go through but not all. Many may not realize that the surroundings of children may sometimes affect their future. Being raised in a low income area surrounded by people living the same lifestyle as you as if struggling is the norm of society.
If the slum residents want to attend the ninth grade and beyond, then they would have to pay for a private school. This is not possible for a lot of these people. College is even more unthought of because how competitive it is. Since school is not required the majority of the parents do not want to send their children because they believe that they would be better off helping the family sort through garbage. For example Abdul’s parents took him out of school in order to replace his father as a garbage sorter when his father became ill with tuberculosis.
Secondly, some kids could be lacking motivation for the study and thus would neglect their opportunity for learning and school rules at the same time. Thirdly, children can have the desire of missing school if they have some relationship problems with other students or school personnel.The forth reason for the school absence is that children can be stressed out because they are overwhelmed with their sudies and from time to time they can miss school because of that. The reasons for the tardiness could be again not satisfactory level of the discipline of the children, kids being overwhelmed with the school(going to bed late because of it and having problems for getting themselves ready for school in time in the mornings) and also just regular traffic problems on children's way to school. 2. What theories are reflected in the different views and approaches recommended by the teachers and the principal?
External schooling in larger towns and boarding school scholarships just a few of the opportunities available, although the issues of healthy family relationships has been raised. It is difficult for a family, without the luxuries of the city, to stay in contact and keep in relationship with a child that is either interstate studying or out of town for the majority of the year while at a boarding school. In the eyes of the families who could make themselves/ their children available to these opportunities, it is seen as an unfair expectation to assume that sending children away is the best option for the family (Mclaughlin, 2010). In some cases, removing children from their homes can put strain on families and communities who have raised their children together for decades. This, in some cases, can be a catalyst for children rebelling or acting out in classroom
These families do not work a typical 9-5, this does not mean that they are not involved with their children’s school. They do what they can, when they can. Or they may only have one vehicle between two parents, and job schedules conflict. Just because they aren’t at every event, don’t rule them out based on negative assumptions. These assumptions lead to lower academic expectations of these students and an overlook of what these families bring to the classroom and the
(“Point: The High Cost of School Uniforms”). If all PA public schools require students to wear uniforms, then the schools would be taking away freedom of expression during the week. Students in school who are growing up and transitioning to an adult world need to know how to live their own lives and be themselves, because eventually they won’t have someone there with them, helping them through things in life. Being themselves also means being able to express themselves the way the wish to. School uniforms are not only items that cause a lack of freedom of expression but also a largely ineffective way to help solve the problems they were meant to.
Cons Cons of Year Round School There are some very strong reasons for not implementing a year round school schedule. These include, but are not limited, to: * Families with different children on different tracks have a difficult time. * With families that have multiple children in school, they will sometimes find it difficult to make plans for before or after school or to schedule family vacations. * School clubs like band, sports, theatre and cheerleading, have difficult time practicing with frequent breaks. * Teachers that coach these activities find that just because they are on vacation doesn’t mean the activity stops.
This quote caught my attention because as a child who grew up with an absent father, I felt this essay really got to the heart of the problem that many children faces now a day. I was lucky in knowing my father's decision not to have anything to do with me growing up was because he resented paying support. I wish I could believe parents left for altruistic reasons, but I think those are just excuses. If they really feared screwing up their kids they could take classes, they could learn to be parents, take anger management classes. Simply, they cannot be arsed to bother.
They do well communicating with their parents because they are home all day with them. However, when it comes to other children they freeze up. Socializing with other children is important also. If they don't know how to communicate, they will have a hard time socializing with other children. They need to learn how to communicate with children their own ages.
They now receive different types of care packages from the social services, although people of our community would see this as a positive thing happening for the family, they might not look at it in this way as they are used to caring for their own family on their own without any help from anyone else. The pressure they may feel to live by the book, this pressure could be seen as coercion as the family really didn’t have a choice but to change their way of lifestyle due to ill health of some family members they simply couldn’t travel and carryon the traveller lifestyle. Also the Social Services are making the children go to school which is the norm of our community, in a traveller community education is a choice. All these different things from care packages to education have
