Lastly, constant fights, suspensions, or lack of the ability to cooperate in school with other students, makes it hard for bullies to apply for other schools due to their behavioral issues. As a result, not having strict disciplinary actions instilled in schools makes it hard for bullies to excel in their academic life. Clearly, not having strict disciplinary actions instilled in schools lets bullying divert its bullies and victims from excelling in school life, and further future advances. Nevertheless, many believe bullying only occurs in school, and it would be unnecessary to take such drastic disciplinary actions; others, who are wise enough, know bullying could give both the bully and victim future disadvantages. For one thing, many adolescents who have
People are asking for metal detectors, security guards, locked doors and armed teachers in schools, but just how far do people go in this matter? One parent said "As much physical security as you put in, the person who's intent on getting past that will find a way" (Hayes). School administration just needs to be prepared for when someone does. “Arlington school board members say they have no desire for teachers to bring concealed guns to class and instead are focusing on measures such as new surveillance cameras and door buzzers to improve security at schools” (Schrock). One of the most popular solutions being debated is the addition of armed guards.
The intensity of such classroom disruptions depends on the teacher’s reaction to them, though dealing with those disturbances may not be as important as the teacher’s accurate classroom management as an essential preventive measure. So the question is: What can teachers expect and how can they effectively handle discipline problems? This paper explores the problem of classroom disruptions and offers a solution for those on the basis of an appropriate example: Paul is frequently entering class late and as soon as he is in there he’s making a show of his delay. During the lesson he is always more interested in his cell phone and texting than in the lesson itself. Also he is used to distract other students by talking to them.
Change and Affect After Columbine After Columbine, how have schools changed far as security and does new security measures have an affect on students? How have gun laws changed after Columbine? School security has changed due to installation of metal detectors, and security cameras. Some schools even banned the carry of backpacks. Students in schools are permitted to carry identification cards on them at all times when on school campus.
In order to provide a safer environment where danger can be resolved more efficiently, teachers and faculty should be allowed to carry weapons in school. Typically, school massacres happen in the more suburban areas where the police stations are farther away so that even if the enforcements were notified of the occurrence, more than likely they would not make it to the scene in time resulting in the perpetrator getting away. If the teachers in the schools were able to pack heat, they could take action against the culprits. Not only will this save more lives, but the number of school shootings will drastically decrease as everyone would not attempt a school invasion as they are aware that the staff is well-armed. Some (mainly parents) may oppose to this proposition as it may be an awkward environment where students are trying to learn but are feared by the knowledge that the very person standing in front of them teaching, is armed with a dangerous weapon.
That’s all I want is just to limit the access that people have to firearms. Another argument would be to not leave people defenseless but as I stated before there are other ways to protect yourself. Right now there is a debate going on about letting people carry guns onto school campuses because of school shootings that happened in “gun-free” zones. I do not think that would be a wise idea because if any little misunderstanding, argument, or dispute went on and someone really disagreed with it, then who knows what would happen. Fights in schools happen all the time, but usually the worst of it is a couple punches thrown.
RISKS OF STUDENT LOANS The issue that I am researching is the negative risks of student loans and how it is not worth the risk. The negative risks of student loans are damaging their credit scores when not able to pay loans on time. Another negative risk is students who struggle to pay their loan making it harder for them to save up for retirement. With so many students facing debt because of student loans it also serves as a threat to the economy. Along with negative risks their also positive risks such as student loans helping in assisting students when furthering their education.
Some schools banned pagers and cell phones starting a decade ago because of their connection to drug and gang activity, as well as due to the disruption to classes. The focus on their disruption of the educational process has come into conflict with cell phones becoming a convenience items over recent years. However, parents have increasingly lobbied boards to change policies primarily based on the argument that phones will make students and schools safer in light of national tragedies. Kacie Tampen, 18, sat in math class as she began getting call after call from her Uncle Jim. Curious, she answered as she feared something terrible happened, resulting in her getting her cell phone taken away.
The other challenge with iPods and phones is that they contribute to classroom management issues. Students could enjoy distractions such as the iPod or phone, but unfortunately there are always people who will abuse privileges. Therefore, allowing these in the class may cause the teacher to spend all their time looking out for students using Ipods and phones and chasing and confiscating them. This dedicates more of the teacher’s time and energy to the management of these devices and iPods in class may cause the teacher to
Students that are caught cheating face a wide range of extreme consequences. Knowing this, students still decide to perform this act and risk getting caught. There are a variety of reasons that tempt students to cheat; a few of them are: cheating offers an easy way out, making parents proud and the fear of facing disappointment, and simply just being unprepared for an exam. Some students believe it is alright to cheat on an examination therefore making cheating an option for them right of the bat. This gives them an easy way out of an examination the next day while everyone else in their class is studying last minute.
