This is why I believe that it’s not the schools fault. Additionally, the article conveys “‘if a school employee witnesses a behavior that is problematic and makes a conscious decision not to address it, it becomes schools problem’.” (Diblasio).This may be true; however it is only resolved for that incident but later on, the bully can decide to be more careful and bully the student more outside of school because an adult intervened. Now I am not saying not to intervene, just that it wouldn’t make the bullying stop completely. Studies have shown that most of the times, the bully is the one that needs more help because maybe he is bullying because he was or is being bullied too. It is also hard to detect but in most cases, this is true.
Canter's Behavior Management Cycle: A Case Study Lisa Furlong GCU Online EDU - 450 Professor Erika Hopson May 23, 2012 Disruptions are events that occur from misbehavior in the classroom setting. Some disruptions are: talking out of turn, being off task, sleeping, talking on cell phones, yelling, and holding individual conversations. Teachers have to make sure to manage all disruptions immediately and effectively. Any disruptions from misbehavior problems can be detrimental in the classroom environment. By allowing certain behaviors to occur without consequences the teacher is sending the message that it is okay.
This naturally formed structure is not conducive to a cooperative, respectful, safe, learning environment. By careful observation, a teacher can learn valuable information and plot a strategic management plan, which uses the positive qualities of the hierarchy, such as student leadership, and rejects the negative qualities. While the teacher is observing her class, an equally intense reconnaissance of the teacher is being carried out by the students. With a thoughtful strategy, a teacher can change the destiny of her students (and herself), if she has the foresight and fortitude to commit to her plan of action. Self Management The students should be made aware of what their responsibilities are and exactly what is expected of them.
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
It can cause confusion, which can then lead to stress, which can then result in aggressive behavior from the child. Spanking is a form of punishment which typically involves the punisher (usually an adult) striking the person that is being punished (usually a child) either with their hand, a belt, or some other instrument. Spanking is commonly used in situations where adults want the child to immediately stop whatever it is they’re doing wrong, which is why some people would consider spanking to be a good thing. “Spare the rod, spoil the child” is a phrase I’ve heard at least a hundred times throughout my life. This phrase simply means if you don’t give the child a spanking when they deserve it, you’re teaching them that their behavior is ok. A typical spanking (a couple swats with a hand) may be physically harmless; however, it can get out of hand.
It requires a variety of teaching strategies to overcome undesirable behaviors in the classroom. If a student has violent tendencies (acting out hurting others and themselves) they may have a Severe Intellectual Disability label for special education
For us, school is a miniature version of society as it provides us with skills that we need once we enter work or when starting a family also, the experience prepares us for interacting with members of society and the rules that society has. He believed that school rules should be strictly reinforced, punishments should reflect the seriousness of the damage done to the social group and it should be made clear to those who have done wrong why they are being punished. This way, pupils would come to learn that it is wrong to act against the social group, it would also teach them to exercise self-discipline but more importantly that misbehaviour would damage society as a whole. Durkheim argued that education teaches individuals specific skills necessary for their future occupations. This is particularly important in industrial society with its increasingly complex and specialised division of labour.
Boards of education banter with administrators and oppose the practice of the school system; teachers have been tutored by their professional associations to distrust principals; parents blame teachers and disassociate themselves from the school; students learn to disrespect teachers; superintendents can be fired at a moment’s notice and teachers can strike against the school system at the drop of a hat. Even though these are negative occurrences, they all reflect a common characteristic, which is there has rarely been a personal attack on a single individual. It is group against group. The article uses examples to explain whether that it is team play or institutional achievement, the organization comes first, the individual second. The author hypothesizes that when person-to-person contacts within organizations are rich and fully developed, groups could never get away with such impersonal dealings that go on in the school system.
Parents should be aware of bullying and be available for any instances that occur. Bullying is a very complex word to define. It is used loosely toward anyone being mean, which is not a crime, just a trait. It is commonly associated on the playground in an elementary school which is probably why it isn’t taken so seriously. But it can happen anywhere, from elementary school to high school, in the workplace, in the home, or even at the bar.
Teachers utilize diverse procedures to control unacceptable behaviors in the classroom Lewis, Romi, Qui and Katz (2005). At the same time, however teachers endeavor to make the classroom contribute to a favorable learning environment for the students. For example using corporal punishment like caning, sending the child out of class for misbehaving, or to the disciplinarian office, or calling their parents is actually harming them as they are not able benefit from it. Classroom management has mostly been seen by teachers as something that is not simple to compromise in education. Sanford and Evertson (1981) have similarly argued that classroom management is a major difficulty for “teachers and administrators in junior high schools” (p. 34).
