Kids around the U.S. in schools are starting to write threats around the school as a joke. The sad part is when somebody brings up a school shooting and it is not seen as a big deal because we are now used to these types of outbursts happening more than they should. If we look back at 1998 when the Columbine shooting happened people were in shock because it was the worst that has ever happened before. It has happened so much from then to now that nobody is surprised when we hear about one. People are now expecting these to happen and that is the problem.
It makes the student with high standers and strong educational level struggle and eventually fall apart. It’s just not only becomes a mental problem but also ends up to become physical too. It can cause fight in schools, conflicts and even racist problem. Then it involves NYPD or even gets in group fights such as Ganges. Another one of the major problems caused from not setting dress code for student in high school is computation with in students that ones were each other’s success.
The problem arises when parents fail to teach their children the correct way of behaving toward adults. Once threats are made, the parents back down and the teenager feels powerful. Now, the teenager has control over the parent, causing the parent to feel weak and powerless. Moreover, teens lately have been mimicking the disrespectful and disobedient attitude their friends exhibit in school. This can mainly be seen between a student and a teacher, another adult, or just a simple student with student.
Student behavior and Drug activity really affects the school system in a major way because children who misbehave in school aren’t on track and they always disturb or distract other students inside the educational environment. “Many children display inappropriate or problem behaviors in the classroom which can make it difficult for them to learn, cause harm to the child or others and isolate the child from his or her peers (New York University School of Medicine).”So when students misbehave it may cause them to lack in learning and can cause them to fail classes, and whatever behavior the student is displaying may hurt the child or other students inside the classroom or the child may be banned from class activities or lessons because of his or her behavior. Student behavior and drug activity is a major problem effecting the educational process in the school system because more students are misbehaving and getting involved in drugactivity which contributes to their bad grades. To narrow down misbehavior and prevent drug activity, more strict punishment policies should be enforced such as televising classrooms, mandatory pat downs, school drug tests, etc., and students should be given correctional classes such as behavioral rehab, also better security placement in school and around the schools perimeter. “Children’s high school behavior is dependent upon many factors, including how well they do academically, what their home life is like and what discipline they are used to(eHow driven by Demand Media).” Some students misbehave and may display harmful behavior verbally and physically because their upset about the things that are going on in their household and having to think about it while in school is very disturbing because students are too focused on the outside situations rather than focusing on their school work and how to behave in a classroom.
Parents and educators have established partnerships, in order to promote anti-bullying programs, because this is an issue that might cause victims psychological problems for a lifetime. Usually, teenagers who suffer this kind of abuse never tell to their parents, maybe for fear of what could happen or because they were threatened by the perpetrators. As a consequence, these teenagers suffer alone because they do not have someone with whom they might talk. Because bullying problems has become a more frequent issue each day, it has called people’s attention. Approximately Approx40% to 80% of the school-age children experience bullying during their academic career, but only 20% to 40% of bullied people report incidents.
Stereotyping is simply a way of grouping student’s into they’re comfort zone. Throughout high school many students confine themselves into a group in which they feel comfortable. They tend to talk about other people outside of themselves and about how they affect the school in some way. They are stereotyping. For example, “jocks”, I believe they get treated differently in high school than from in college.
Coming from a High School athlete I don’t think that high school athletes rule U.S. High Schools. I think that they get the same treatment everyone else does or they may even be treated worse. Some teachers hate high school sports so if a student plays a sport in high school that student might have a disadvantage in that class. But it could also go either way if you do get that teacher that likes high school sports the teacher might go a little bit easier on you. Referring back to the Article students from Columbine High School said that high school athletes are given forms of privilege that other students perceive to be unfair and that make some athletes feel that they identify as deviant within the normative structure of the school.
First, the high school students should have special treatment. Many athlete students have many absences because of too much practices and road trips. They do not have energy to study. They miss many exams. The school gives special treatment to the students so they could have better or higher grades and they could go to college.
Thousands of children go to school every day filled with fear and trepidation; other feign illness to avoid being taunted or attacked on the way to school or in the school yard, hallways, and bathrooms; still others manage to make themselves sick at school so as to avoid harassment in the locker room. Children who are bullied spend a lot of time thinking up ways to avoid the trauma and have little energy left for learning. It is not only the bullied child who suffers the consequences of bullying. Many children who bully continue these learned behaviors into adulthood and are at increased risk of bullying their own children, failing at interpersonal relationships, losing jobs, and ending up in jail. Bystanders are also affected by bullying.
Salinger shows how Holden’s childhood have shaped his attitude towards others. Through Holden’s characteristics, actions and comments Salinger shows that events in our life can affect the adults we become. Holden tends to be a pessimist teenager that always sees the bad in people, especially in adults. He has the habit to use the word “phony” to describe people, and it seems like he has difficulties having a good social life, but he doesn’t really like to be alone. He has been kicked out of school several times; it seems like he does not care about it; however, he has a decent grade in English class.
