Hello everybody!
This time I decided to write about violence at school on the grounds that nowadays is a huge problem.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OnAn1kqaEzs If you follow this link, you will see the video in which an adolescent of fifteen years old being cruelly hit by a classmate. As you may know, this situation took place in the province of Cordoba, and when I saw it I started to think about violence at school. Now when you see or hear about instances of violence at school one of the questions that arises is why adolescents are so violent today. I mean, when I went to school this didn’t happen frequently, whereas now is quite common to hear that students take knives or guns to school or that they fight there. Then, another question is if we can find a solution to this issue. One day, my sister who is a teacher told me about an event of violence that took place in the school where she works. Two teenage girls were fighting in the yard during break time and one of the teachers told them to stop. The thing was that they didn’t obey her and continued fighting. The teacher didn’t know what to do, she said that she got really scared, so she went and called the principal. When the principal went, the girls had already stopped, but they were suspended for their behavior.
All in all, I think that something must be done! We, as future teachers can talk to students and their parents or tutors about the consequences of violence and make them see the seriousness of this problem.
Now, what do you think about violence at school? What should be done when this happens? Is there a way to prevent it?
We should pay more attention to the ones who are living around the students. They include parents, school friends, teachers and society in general because the environment where they are living is promoting violence. I think we must “fight” as teachers to make schools safer places.
ResponderEliminarI think that everything comes from the education they receive at home, and then at schools..we should teach them values from the very first years of school. Teachers should definitely work more with students about this issue.
ResponderEliminarWell, it's quite a big issue. Students don't learn to do that at school, we should figure out why is society itself turning more and more violent, only then we could try and find a solution to these problems at schools. It's very complex and in every sphere of society should be done something to put a halt to this situation.
ResponderEliminarI completely agree it is not a problem of the educational system what is going on is that violence, which used to take place outside the school now is being exercised in the school and many other institutions. I think it should be dealt with from a social level not from the educational level even though we should contribute to lessen it. I do feel that we teachers are left alone with this issue and every time find less and less support from society.
