Hazard= Anything that has the potential to cause harm. (p22, support children and young people’s health and safety L. Burnham, B. Baker) Everyone in school needs to be alert to any hazards, which are likely to cause harm or injury to themselves and others. The school is required to carry out risk assessments to make sure that everything is safe. Staff and pupils need to be aware of hazards and report them as soon as possible to the appropriate person. You should be aware of the person you report too.
Searching Lockers Protects Everyone Why do so many students oppose locker searches in schools? Some students believe these searches invade their privacy and without a probable cause they should not be allowed. Others believe these searches help the school to be safe and therefore probable cause is not necessary. The schools should be allowed to search lockers randomly for the safety and well being of the students and staff. Only one violent student can jeopardize the safety of others.
Students may even try to steal the gun for their own use. Not to mention the amount of accidents that can occur by an un-experienced shooter. We must also keep in mind that being a teacher or part of the school staff does not make it a legitimate reason for one to carry a deadly weapon in an environment full of students. Teachers are only humans and can potentially lose control of their temper or even sanity, much like the several students who previously committed gun violence in schools. How can you judge and trust a person's character just by their status?
In 1991 Congress reported that 200,000 women soldiers were victims of sexual assault so far in the US Army. Even though women are more commonly victims of sexual assault, men are also victims. An act of sexual assault is a crime and should be dealt with properly. These statistics and reports show the scale of the phenomenon that is happening in the military. This issue has been going on for decades but no formal severe actions have been taken until now.
Rich is disagreeing , that females are getting better grades in school. Giving an example of a young female that was from Kentucky, she was the president or leader of every activity in her school. During her free time, she did more than 300 hours of community service, for four different organizations. Her grades point average and test scores placed her to be out in the middle of the pile of applications. The 10 officers that sat around the table had to have debate before admitting her.
Nora, a freshmen currently attending a college in New York, had anxiety when college-applications came out. As she began needing to fill out more, she started fearing getting questions teachers asked wrong and feeling inferior to her peers (Clinic Staff). Nora is one of many students who face anxiety due to school. According to data by the National Institute of Mental Health, “about 30 percent of girls and 20 percent of boys--totaling 6.3 million teens--have had an anxiety disorder,” (Clinic Staff). A large amount of teen students have had anxiety, a side-effect from stress and mental disorders, and anxiety derives from high expectations schools create.
SOC-100 June 16, 2013 Victoria Isaac Sexual Misconduct in the Military Sexual misconduct in the military is a growing epidemic that has a detrimental effect on service members. There are news reports almost daily about this issue. It is no longer a case of just women reporting the assaults. Each year, there are reports of female on female and male on male assaults as well as male on female. The Department of Defense has launched several programs to combat and eliminate sexual violence in the military.
2002, NCJ 196676: 2–3; for an analysis of how colleges and universities define sexual assault, see chap ter 3. Federal law and the schools’ response Institutions of higher educa tion vary widely in how well they comply with Clery Act mandates and respond to sexual victimization. Overall, a large proportion of the schools studied—close to 80 percent—submit the annual security report required by the Act to the U.S. Depart ment of Education; more than twothirds include their crime statistics in the report. Yet, according to a General Accounting Office study, schools find it difficult to consistently interpret and apply the Federal reporting requirements, such as decid ing which incidents to cite in the annual report, classifying crimes, and the like.11 Definitions, even of such terms as “campus” and “stu dent, are often a challenge ” and contribute to inconsis tency in calculating the number of reported sexual assaults. Only 37 percent of the schools studied report their statistics in the required manner; for example, most schools failed to distinguish forcible and nonforcible sex offenses in their reports as required by the Clery
Over 60% of students had cheated in the past month, which is fairly recent, and a staggering 83% had cheated in the past quarter. This showed us that cheating is an on going problem that almost certainly happens daily in Perry Hall High. To sum up our survey we asked students to tell us how big of a problem they though cheating was in our school on a scale from 1 to 5, 5 being the most serious. 41% responded a 3 with the rest of the figure split evenly between 1,2,4, and 5. We concluded from this that students don’t really care about the subject or are indifferent about it.
Specifically 27% of Year four to Year nine students are bullied every few weeks or more (Cross et al., 2009). Verbal bullying such as name calling, teasing and spreading hurtful lies appears to be the most common form (Cross et al.,
