When the kids were asked if they have ever bullied someone else, most of the answers that were given were of course "No". But when asked to really think hard about if they ever picked on a sibling they second guessed their selves. I find it very sad that bullying at such a young age can range all the way to them being racist. At one point of the movie a young African American boy was asked to explain bullying, and his response was "someone making fun of your skin color". At this point i was really surprised that a boy at such a young age said he was
Has Clara verbalized why she no longer wants to go to school? Is there a particular event that caused her to not want to go anymore? Did she get a new teacher? Any changes in her environment at school could be a reason why Clara has shut down and no longer wants to attend school. Other considerations that I may take into consideration in designing an effective intervention for this family is finding out what triggers her tantrums and Clara’s behavior before and after her tantrums to those individuals who are around her when they take place.
A student’s mindset comes from negative labeling from parents or teachers, or stereotypes based on race and class. Even though students get fixed mindsets from many ways, parents will be a major factor, parents always gives their children negative labeling which causes them to have peer pressure. In the nonfictional article, “The Case of the Purloined Paper”, written by Brigid Schulte, she

But seeing a world of hate, and discrimination through the eyes of Klugar and Amara, it is almost impossible to separate the two. Amara’s link of religion to social class is shown through her recollection of her peers view of her based on theses factors alone. “At school, along with the other children from the housing project, we were called the “kids from Herbet,” which was a way of identifying our neighborhood as the Arab quarter” pg.48. The way her schoolmates write her off as just being another herbet kid, shows the superior attitude that must have been prevalent around them. Kluger’s religion and ethnicity shaped the entire course of her life as well.
The language police are restricting what students learn by removing anything that may appear controversial. Diane believes the language police are trying to win an unachievable battle, a battle in which the world is perfect. Diane Ravitch was appointed to the National Assessment Governing Board (NAGB) in the early 1990’s and was assigned to review reading passages for the
Initially, they made their demands to principals, who rejected them out of hand, urging caution on the part of youth who would "ruin your career," if they persisted. The kids pressed on, taking their demands to the school board which maneuvered for time, perhaps expecting the issues would die out as students graduated. At Lincoln High School in East Los Angeles, “Chicano” students became increasingly aware of educational funding, high dropout rates, a curriculum with no recognition of Chicano history, institutional racism, and the small number of Mexican American teachers. They shared their concerns with students in surrounding schools and organized the walkout or blowout. One day in early March of 1968, hundreds and thousands of high school students decided to walk out of their classes to demand an end to the second-class citizenship they and their parents suffered all these years.
Bullying is addressed at almost every level of schools in America. Has bullying always existed or is it a recent disease plaguing students? Can parallels be drawn between the boys’ treatment of others in Lord of the Flies and current situations in school today? Consider the culture and time period in which the stranded boys lived and were raised. Would this have impacted their behavior?
• Molly Midyette confessed to being abused as a child and not reading “signs” clear enough that something was wrong that her husband was doing How to prevent Child Abuse: Education: Schools from elementary to high school should have group meetings to explain what child abuse is and the forms of child abuse along with numerous pamphlets sent home to let the parents know when these meetings are. In numerous NYC schools have these types of meetings and there is even a suggestion box as to if they themselves have a problem and would like to seek help, or if they think something is wrong in the home of another student who is friends with their child and want to remain unknown in becoming involved. Laws: In every state, the following people are required by law to report suspected abuse: Doctors; nurses; dentists; mental health professionals; social workers; teachers; day care workers; law enforcement personnel. In some states, clergy, foster parents, attorneys, and camp counselors also are required to report abuse. In about 18 states, any person who suspects abuse is required to report it.
