By allowing certain behaviors to occur without consequences the teacher is sending the message that it is okay. This can cause the students to lose focus and a decrease in understanding of the lesson being taught. It can also allow chaos to reign supreme. Disruptions can also make other students feel threatened. Students must feel safe and secure in their class in order to learn and grow in education.
Separation anxiety can be excessive crying when the parent leaves, throwing tantrums and are unable to calm down, or refusing to complete the work or participate in class. When a child is having separation anxiety, the best strategy, is to have them help you come up with a plan, so that they have a hand in deciding what the best course of action is. Furthermore, they know what to do when they start to feel the anxiety start to happen. You could have a classroom parent board, in which students and parents can communicate with each other. When the child starts to feel the anxiety, they can walk over to the board and read a message from their parents.
Don’t You Think It’s Worth It? Sure the thought of someone searching your things may be a little disturbing, but your child’s safety is definitely worth it. Your children go to school to learn, to a place where you are not going to be to protect them, to the same place where other, more troubled kids go to. Sometimes these troubled kids are angry, want attention, or are just bored, so they bring in drugs or weapons. I am sure that you do not want your children exposed to this, and there is a way to stop it.
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.
Schools cannot beat the entertainment industry at its own game. What they have to offer students is the chance for intellectual freedom, the power to think for themselves…(Ravitch 163). In school, students are always taught to have an open-mind, how can they have an open-mind when they are being censored? Schools only offer boring, bland topics and cause students to lose interest. Students are so highly influenced by the media that if they aren’t hearing about violence, death, sex or lies, then they have the “don’t care” mentality.
How can you judge and trust a person's character just by their status? As we grow up, we are taught not to fight violence with violence, because it only leads to more harm and doesn't solve the problem in any way. If a student harms someone, why should the teacher hurt or maybe even kill the student? This teaches people the wrong values. You may be thinking that teachers are unable to stand up to students or outside threats under current school conditions, but that doesn't mean we have to take these extreme measures.
When people think of school, a safe environment for students to learn comes to mind. Students learn knowledge happily and safety. However, when people think about gun, they always think about violence, danger and unsafe environment. Therefore, an environment for safe learning should not have guns. The school hires school security to protect the campus and they should be enough protection.
Children should learn through their own pace and we shouldn’t throw things at them that will be difficult for them to acquire. Students shouldn’t have so much power and authority put on them and their learning should come naturally. Every child is different and unique in their own ways and some children take longer to learn than others but we need to let the child have the chance to pick up things themselves at their own pace. Montaigne believes that no one should be pushed or forced to do anything they are not capable of doing. Montaigne also believes that wisdom and character are both important factors.
I think that reading is where most students have trouble and this is where they slip through the cracks at school. Some teachers don’t want to deal with it so they just push the child through. I think that what really needs to be done is that teachers need to take the time to help these kids. They need to make sure they understand the work. They need to make sure the stuff is age appropriate for their reading ages; doing this will help a child to succeed at reading.
Mathews asserts that recess is not necessary for education and that students benefit more from spending the time they would be spending on recess in the classroom instead. The author portrays recess as a harmful and dangerous waste of time for the students. Mathews argues his opinion by using the three main rhetoric appeals, ethos, logos, and pathos, to convince others to his point of view on recess. Mathews reasons his argument against recess using the appeal of logic, providing evidence with the use of surveys and educational reports. The author also uses quotes from trusted officials in education to increase his ethics.
