...Overcoming pupils’ misbehaviours in public school like Nagpayong Elementary School that is populated of 10,768 grader pupils and with over crowding narrow classrooms composed of a minimum of 50 and a maximum of 60 pupils per class, but its nature is much more difficult backbreaking responsibility to do than other obligations of the teacher and in this situation she should be able to bridge the between discipline and pupils behaviours. Militant, disobedient, socially inadequate and withdrawn behaviours of pupils are disruptions of class and establish a set of problems to public school teachers. As a teachers they claim it a great burden to deal with in their daily lives. Most teachers are claiming that their effort do not to effectively handle disruptive pupils. With fifty or more pupils in the classroom per section, almost one half of the members of the lower sections are disruptive. These behaviour pupils constantly disrupt classroom situations. Behaviour control is important. Success in teaching is often directly proportional to a teachers ability to use appropriate disciplinary measures.

...concerns for childhood and adolescence: eating disorders, substance abuse, sexual activity, depression. Your essay should include a description of the concern, incidence, causes, and effects of the concern, as well as implications for educators. ( 5 pts) While most substance abuse is on the decline, it still poses a problem. Alcohol, Cigarette and marijuana use are most common. In one study in 1991, 51% of high school students drank at least once a week. Other studies have shown that one in four high school students smoke cigarettes and one in five have smoked marijuana. There are numerous and varying causes of substance abuse in children and adolescents, including inadequate parental supervision, peer pressure, and poor self-esteem. It can cause poor school performance, long-term health problems, and of course, accidents. For teachers, this means being very aware of any change in student behavior that may be attributed to substance abuse. It means being vigilant about any drug use or selling that may be occurring in the school. It could (and should) also mean incorporating education about the dangers of substance abuse in the classroom. Design a classroom that is appropriate for children and adolescents, keeping their physical development in mind. What kinds of school and classroom practices would also meet the physical developmental needs of children and adolescents? How did your own school perform in this regard? A classroom with age-appropriate demonstrations...

...Play Therapy in Elementary School CED 600: Introduction to Counseling Abstract Because the child's world is a world of action and activity, play therapy provides the psychologist in elementary-school settings with an opportunity to enter the child's world. In the play therapy relationship, toys are like the child's words and play is the child's language. Therefore, children play out their problems, experiences, concerns, and feelings in a manner that is similar to the process of talk therapy. This paper provides practical information about play therapy, a discussion of the skills needed by the psychologist/counselor, how to involve parents in the treatment process, and a review of play therapy research studies. Play Therapy in Elementary School An Overview of Play Therapy Play therapy is to children what talk therapy is to adults. Play is a child’s language, children express themselves best through their natural language—the language of play. Play therapy refers to a method of psychotherapy whereby the child’s natural means of expression, namely plays, is used as a therapeutic method to help him/her in coping with emotional stress or trauma. Therapist use a child's fantasies and the symbolic meanings of his or her play as a method for understanding and communication with the child. Play therapy is used to treat problems that are interfering with the child's normal development. Such difficulties would be extreme in degree and have been occurring for many months...

...Bullying and the Effects Of Academic Achievement In Elementary School Students Tracy Priest Brandman University This paper was prepared for Introduction to Sociology, Section 101, taught by Professor Kimberly Kenney. Abstract As violence in school becomes more and more common in our society, teacher need to be more aware of the many types of bullying, how students are affected by bullying, how often students are being bullied and how to prevent bullying from occurring. With bullying happening in schools more frequently and at the elementary school level, it’s important that schools look into the types of anti-bulling programs available and start implementing them if there was a need for a prevention program at their school. Early intervention is critical as studies show there is a relationship between bullying and a student’s academic achievements. Bullying and the Effects of Academic Achievement In Elementary School Students Bullying, whether, direct or indirect is a physical or psychological intimidation that occurs repeatedly over time to create an ongoing pattern of harassment and abuse (Batsche & Knoff, 1994). Constant harassment and abuse puts a damper on an environment in which our children have the right to learn and feel safe. Formal research has shown that not only the students who bully, but the students being bullied have suffered lifelong negative consequences including a decline in academic achievement. Though most of the research has...

...Simpson-Warner EN-111 24 November 2010 Males in Elementary School When I was younger, I did not notice or question that there were not that many male teachers in elementary school. I did not think too much of it. But as I considered a career in teaching, I wondered why our education classes had more females than males, if not completely without a male student wanting to teach in the elementary level. My own ideas and questions began to bother me: were men just scared of teaching such a young group of students? Did men think that they were too good to teach in elementary? What was their reason for not wanting to teach at elementary level? Were women just better candidates to teach at this level? I knew that there had to be specific reasons why the populations of men in elementary school have been and continue to be low. In fact, I had to think about my own biases as to why men were not teaching in elementary. When I started this research paper and read the various articles about why men choose not to teach, I found that more often than not, it was because of other people thinking that men were not the best candidates for teaching in elementary than men simply choosing not to work. Society’s ideas about men teaching in elementary, then, are the big reasons why men are not teaching in elementary school. Society’s thinking that male teachers are not real men, parents’ suspicion of male teachers, and society insistence to men that secondary school is a more acceptable area for men to teach...

...starting to abuse prescription drugs as early as the age of 12. How does a 12 year old get access to prescription drugs? Well, the answer to this question was less shocking but equally disturbing. This article was an eye opener and a learning lesson for me. Not only do we, as parents, have an obligation to be involved in our children’s lives, we also must gain awareness to the dangers that surround them outside of our homes. Everyone knows that illegal drugs are a threat to our children on a daily basis. We are all taught in elementary school to “just say no”. Kids are told all kinds of horror stories about drug deals gone wrong, chemicals added to the drug that were lethal, and the physical effect of the drugs. Not once in school do I remember being warned about prescription drugs. After all, who wants to confuse a child by telling them that the medicine a doctor gives them can be equally harmful as the drugs sold on the street? However, failure to inform our children of the dangers of abuse of prescription drugs leads children to trust that these drugs are not harmful to them. Doing so results in children believing illegal drugs are bad and can hurt you, but prescription pills are good and were made to “fix” you. Unfortunately, children are unaware that both drugs are man-made chemicals that react with the chemicals in your body, and can potentially kill you if abused. This is why drug awareness is so important. Since most children are introduced to drugs while at school, I feel...

...related literature about bullying By ahemn October 2013 309 Words PAGE 1 OF 1 Bullying in schools is a worldwide problem that can have negative consequences for the general school climate and for the right of students to learn in a safe environment without fear. Bullying can also have negative lifelong consequences—both for students who bully and for their victims. Although much of the formal research on bullying has taken place in the Scandinavian countries, Great Britain, and Japan, the problems associated with bullying have been noted and discussed wherever formal schooling environments exist. Bullying is comprised of direct behaviors such as teasing, taunting, threatening, hitting, and stealing that are initiated by one or more students against a victim. In addition to direct attacks, bullying may also be more indirect by causing a student to be socially isolated through intentional exclusion. While boys typically engage in direct bullying methods, girls who bully are more apt to utilize these more subtle indirect strategies, such as spreading rumors and enforcing social isolation (Ahmad & Smith, 1994; Smith & Sharp, 1994). Whether the bullying is direct or indirect, the key component of bullying is that the physical or psychological intimidation occurs repeatedly over time to create an ongoing pattern of harassment and abuse (Batsche & Knoff, 1994; Olweus, 1993). Extent of the Problem Various reports and studies have established that approximately 15% of students...

Approximately 160,000 teens skip school every day because of bullying. 1 in 7 students in grades K-12 is either a bully or a victim of bullying. 56 percent of students have personally witnessed some type of bullying at school. Over two-thirds of students believe that schools respond poorly to bullying, with a high percentage of students believing that adult help is infrequent and ineffective. 71 percent of students report incidents of bullying as a problem at their school. 90 percent of 4th through 8th graders report being victims of bullying. 1 out of 10 students drop out of school because of repeated bullying. Harassment and bullying have been linked to 75 percent of school-shooting incidents. Physical bullying increases in elementary school, peaks in middle school and declines in high school. Verbal abuse, on the other hand, remains constant. Bullying is a common experience for many children and adolescents. Surveys indicate that as many as half of all children are bullied at some time during their school years, and at least 10% are bullied on a regular basis. Bullying behavior can be physical or verbal. Boys tend to use physical intimidation or threats, regardless of the gender of their victims. Bullying by girls is more often verbal, usually with another girl as the target. Bullying...

...Courtnie Barnes Kayla Diaz Mrs. Baker English 12 13 March 2012 Bullying Cannot Be Ignored Most people see bullying as “kids being kids”, but for Jamie Nabozny that was not the case. Students harassed, taunted, and teased Nabozny for being gay. The harassment started out verbally, but rapidly progressed into traumatizing physical and sexual abuse. The physical abuse was so severe that Nabozny couldn’t even use the school restrooms. One day while Nabozny was using the school restroom, several of his class mates came in and started harassing him. At one point Nabozny was pushed to the floor by one of the students, while kicked and urinated on by the others. The abuse did not stop there, it eventually became sexual. Male students would touch Nabozny inappropriately while whispering in his ear asking him if he liked it. When these situations were taken to the school administration they simply said “boys will be boys” and no one was held accountable (Documentary). School administration must enforce the Code of Conduct to ensure that all students feel safe. In Mark Brown’s article, “Life After Bullying”, he states that bullying is a serious problem. It is known that bullying has become a worldwide problem. “Bullying is a type of aggression in which the behavior is intended to harm or disturb, occurs repeatedly over time, and where an imbalance of power occurs, with a more powerful person or group attacking a less powerful one” (Nansel et al). “Younger children have a different...

... Nowadays, the term “School violence” is not strange for many people. This is becoming a serious problem for many years and this phenomenon is not only decrease but rise everyday in many schools. Schools were considered to be safe in the previous era but due to this school violence they no longer remain a safe place. Though the cases of violence are quite rare but still a check is required. 2. WHAT IS “SCHOOL VIOLENCE”? School violence is any form of violent activity or activities inside the school premises. It includes bullying, physical abuses, verbal abuses, brawl, shooting etc. Bullying and physical abuses are the most common forms of violence that is associated with school violence. However extreme cases such as shooting and murder have also been listed as school violence. For example: Columbine High School massacre in Colorado in 1999, Virginia Tech Massacre in 2007… School violence starts out with the bully on the playground, or the pushing and shoving in the lunch line. Most of the fights were found as the “battle” of not only two individuals, in many cases, the ‘main actors’ in the fights were gangs and groups. Not only schoolboys, but schoolgirls also fight each other. 3. WHY DOES IT HAPPEN? School violence isn't easy to understand. There is no single reason why students become violent. Most behaviors are learned responses to circumstances and situations that are exhibited in our everyday life. • Bullies inside the school premises. These bullies...
