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.
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.
It is to be hoped that now, the issue with bullying can be related to the increase of school safety. There has to be something done in account for the students who get hurt from other children who have anger issue and erupt sporadically. Raising eyebrows from various school board officials and parents, the concern to ensure safety in schools has forced teachers and principals to be the band-aid from any harm that may bruise its reputation. As much media as incidents over disputes in school get broadcasted, there is not enough attention on the ways these things are being put to a halt by the city’s government officials. Organizations, social media movements and strikes have elevated because of the concern t protect the futures of tomorrow.
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.
Why the rally had changed so dramatically (Timothy, 2011) On May 3rd, a team of workers proctor attacked by the police, a picket was killed and many people were injured at McCormick harvester factory. On the evening of May 4th, Spies, Albert, Parsons, and Samuel Fielden spoke to a crowd estimated 3,000. At the beginning, the rally was peacefully. Suddenly, a subversive threw a
Jeremy L. Hoskins English Composition II 15 January 2013 Essay School shootings are without a doubt a tragedy, but the question arises as to what the people of this country can do to prevent further crimes. Many people want to allow school teachers to carry firearms in order to protect their class. This idea has been well thought out, and pondered upon since the first attacks on a school. If the teacher was subject to regular physiological evaluations, and kept trained on the proper procedures on using a weapon, then there is no reason why they should not be allowed to carry a sidearm. It would be a deterrent to anyone who thinks about committing a crime in a school.
I think providing our schools with better security is an issue that should not be put on the back burner to be discussed only when a shooting occurs in our school. We want our schools to be safe and have adequate, security but we do not want our schools to become a prison. We want students and teachers to feel safe and secure when they enter their classroom. We must try and figure out a way to achieve this goal without providing our teachers with firearms. Since I’m currently working in the field of Early Childcare and Education, and I have several grandchildren that are in school I hope this is a goal that we can
Teaching and protecting special needs children is her livelihood and considers these children as her own. Teacher Hansens perspective is taken for granted, and we want all our teachers to protect our children but the big picture is we can harm our youth as well. It is of utmost importance that the administrators of these schools be informed of which teachers or other staff members are carrying a firearm on the grounds. Policies procedures and proper training need to be in place at these states that allow teachers to carry firearms. Communication is so crucial to prevent any future tragedies on school
He was quoted as saying, "they ALL mocked and slaughtered my self esteem it got so bad I had to turn to drugs." Only days after Thanksgiving, Carneal walked into school with his arsenal of weapons and opened fire killing two students (Newman 26-27). Another example from the book is that of Andrew Williams of Santee, CA. Similar to Carneal, Williams was harassed and teased because of his scrawny appearance. He seemed to take this in stride though, however, on the inside he was being destroyed.
One of the children in the bunch yelled, "You're just ugly why are you even alive!" I was appalled, I too know how it feels to look different and have you peers judge you. Even though that was so many years ago, it felt like yesterday as I watched this innocent girl cry. Starting middle school isn't easy for any child coming out of elementary school. It's almost a step closer into being a teenager and not everyone is always ready.
