| Some states in the United States have implemented laws to address school bullying. Law prohibits bullying of students based on sexual orientation and gender identity Law prohibits bullying of students based on sexual orientation only School regulation or ethical code for teachers that address bullying of students based on sexual orientation Law prohibits bullying in school but lists no specific categories of protection No statewide law that specifically prohibits bullying in schools (Photo credit: Wikipedia) |
The headlines read that the
countries children's scholastic average has fallen.Bullies are rampant in schools.vandalism is out of control.Guns killing
teachers and
students.Graduating young adults are not ready for a good life.drop outs are on the rise....It's all pretty negative isn't it?
First lets get things in more of an order here.The scolastic average will be discussed in a moment.
Bullies have always been a vex to kids that would rather read and learn than fight.Thats what school is about isn't it?So lets deal with bullies first.Lets make this a simple solution.Weed them out and make it a mandatory to send them to
military school where they can find the discipline they lack.The other kids will never involve themselves with stepping in the way of a bully doing their "thing".Most kids will simply join in and help the bully to save their own sorry selves from becoming the object of "it"s" actions.The school system has been neutered from actually doing anything about students abusing other students.Many teachers are fired for interference in the harassment of peaceful kids just trying to learn being
bullied.The students being picked on usually become worried about their next encounter with the jerks bothering them again.They find learning more and more difficult .They are left out to suffer by the hand of others with nowhere to turn.Is it any wonder the most desperate of them commit horrendous acts when violence.
but enough of this.Deal with bullies even if they are the class president or the class idiot.Boot camp their nasty selves to people that are ex Military where they can encounter folks that are used to Tough guys.Maybe they will gain some maturity before one of those others victims make them, victims .Before we see another bullied kid destroyed by a bully's crap.End the teachers being denied the ability to stop the bully.Discipline is not bad if used without abuse.There is a vast difference in beating up a kid and using punishment and reward properly.
The teachers are next,.Denied discipline to students that out of line.Forced to try to teach overcrowded understaffed schools,They are cut on funds to the barest of minimums.
I believe this phrase would be appropriate,"We the understaffed,lead by the unqualified,are asked to do the impossible,while having nothing to work with,getting beat down and being asked to request nothing but may I have more sir". Pay the teachers based on their abilities,Pay them for all the hours they actually work,marking paperwork and spending with the students that need help to learn.They mold the future teachers,who must be better than themselves.They in turn must teach to a higher standard with increased abilities.The taking away of utilities to teach is like asking a mason to build a pyramid without straw(from the movie,"
Moses").If... each generation of students are taught with less and less tools and teachers,this country will fall into disrepair from which it will become a third world society.We will face decades of trying to regain the statis of where we were once.If ever.
We helped many of the prosperous contries throughout the last century.I rather doubt such a"hand across the ocean"would apply to us unless we conform another society.
Every year the statistics are released on how far our kids have slid in comparison with the rest of the world.Statistics on how other countries are surpassing us in industry,
Technologies,Medical advances etc:
How can our students make any advances if the teachers are denied the resources to properly teach what would excel these wonderful minds into the future.How can anyone expect the teachers to excel if they,themselves came out of the system I speak of.
Each time we subtract resources from the system,each time a teacher is terminated for lack of funds,The country should cry out and demand who is responsible.Even elderly folks that no longer have children at home pay school taxes.Where is this going???Who is wasting this money?and shouldn't the countries government, be dumping the billions of dollars into this countries education of it's children first?Yes the world needs 2 raise up it standards.You must first rise up in order to help others to rise out of their situation.If you help yourself first,then you have a better position to help others.
Lets help our own students first so they can free the rest of the world.They can at least compete as equals in the world business arena.The word I heard as a child said,"a Child shall lead them".
We need to teach our children with all the technological tools as possible.We also need the human teachers that can never be replaced.Machines are a long way from the human abilities of teachers.Machines don't need to be paid you say?I say,"you get what you pay for".If you doubt this analogy then we can exchange your nice car for a junkyard yugo that I'm sure you will find gratifying.
Or we can exchange that nice house or apartment for a cardboard box in a field.It's the same thing.
Machines (computers)are the tools for teachers to use as assistants.It is not the other way around.
Teachers,Use them or lose the futures for everyone.
OKAY,so lets discuss a few ways to supplement the needed funds for the future of schools.First,dunp all the deadwood.Bullies out of the school systems.This will clear the teaching air for a relaxed atmosphere of learning.Stress free schools make better learning concentration possible.
Pay the teachers like the future depended on it.It really does!Those students ARE the future!
Teachers hold the fate of the world in their hands.Use the over seas funds going to hostile countries to better our own kids lives.Funnel all we can into straightening out the junk schools in rotten neighborhoods as well as the good neighborhoods where all the kids have clean white teeth.
We need to rebuild and modernized the structures that are horrible antiques from long past days.
Students need to be proud of themselves and their schools.If the community and country takes pride and invests,it has to work.
Dump the administrators that have bad records of success.Find out if they tried to change things and go up the ladder of command until you find the weak link in the supervisors.Eliminate the negatives and eccentuate the positive.Students need to goto
summer-school when they are not up to standards.
How about a free update schools for teachers to upgrade their professions.Paid schooling for them out of the "world for our enemies fund"we no longer send over there"...
Dump the
Graffitti kids into an art class to paint the schools fences and walls with art.Send the bullies to camp.Pay the teachers and buy updated supplies for the teaching process. The students that simply can't stay in school because they have other responsibilities still need an
educational chance to grow.
Lets set up a program where they can learn at their own pace through computer online programs.This would allow Them the same opportunities as other students.Perhaps a place to check in from time to time with a human instructor,Some schools have night school classes now.schedules really rarely allow adults to go back to school.
Lastly on this blog we must reach out to the most wasted of school resources when education is considered.The most important asset is the students themselves.They have active imaginations and minds that can see the world in ways our adult and mature minds have filtered out along with the exuberant creative energy of youth.They can be asked to create better systems of learning by being taught to create.To think with a goal in mind.Many students can't even balance a check book now.
many students read at a reduced lever.Then there is the students that run for mayor at 17yrs old and start their own business.lets find what helped them and let students explore the avenues of success.
These students can become involved in the creation of better schools and lead us as children will do.
Without changes to upgrade the schools,no one can criticize teachers or their students.A learning curve is only as good as the people and systems that support it.If you want your kids to work for the rest of the world,dump on teachers,bankrupt our schools and support the "gangsta"kids terrorizing peaceful students.This is a major wall that we build outa some misplaced social foolishness to
believe we are incapable of falling beneath the bar of worldwide standards.No one is incapable of falling out of position in this world
All you need remember is the story of the tortoise and the hare.It"s one of the ancient Aesops Fables.
If we rest too long with this,as fast as we have been in the worlds education.We will lose the race.
Thats all for now folks,Please take care of what you love and it will repay you in time.
Hope I don't get too much off for this machine's Bad punctuation program.It needs a teacher's touch:)
