Recommended: Review of related literature of the good and bad impact of technology in school

A larger issue that has been going on is that kids haven’t been paying attention in school and have been thinking about what the would do after school.

Also, when students get access to a computer or electronic at school, they just play games. The teacher doesn’t even monitor what they are doing and they do nothing about it even though they know it’s happening. School is a place for learning, not playing games.

Same goes for bullying, it’s an issue and people know. But nobody decides to do anything about it. If it were up to the student being bullied they should actually get a part in the situation. Also, students should have the right to punish a student that is off task or fooling around.

Otherwise, these issues are ruining the right to have a free education and students off task should just have …show more content…

Because i'm pretty sure students who are off task get other students off task as well. Like i said, nobody reports the students off task so they just get away with it almost every time while everyone else is working hard they just get to sit back and play a game or talk to their friends. I don’t see why they would want to be off task and not do the assignment at hand and get a bad grade on that, because that’s just affecting them. Also, you can’t really control what students are saying or doing when they are off task on some sort of computer or phone, they could be on facebook or twitter or other social media saying bad things about other students. Also, minors (under 18/21) shouldn’t even be allowed on social media (like facebook, twitter, ect.) but that’s a whole other topic to talk about for a different time. When the students who were off task do get a bad grade on the assignment they didn’t do, they continue to get off task and eventually drop out of school and do bad things that they shouldn’t be doing, because you can’t really predict what a teen is going to

    How will this growing problem be fixed, not only in the United States but the world as well? One important action is to continue the effort to improve schools worldwide. Schools in poorer areas of districts would benefit from a greater number of better trained teachers and faculty. Other actions to help improve schools would be to add more leadership and extracurricular activities, encourage students to focus and stay in school, and making things such as school lunch and recess better.

  • Stop Bullying: The Jeffrey Johnston Stand Up For All Students Act

    777 Words  | 2 Pages

    To begin with, bullying happens all around you and yet barely anything is being done about it. No one will stand up or speak up either until its too late or not at all. The laws don’t help enough. The law we have in Florida is the Jeffrey Johnston Stand Up For All Students act. That act states that anyone in the school- students and teachers/ staff member, that is subjected to bullying, is prohibited. If they claim it's illegal why do they either don’t do anything at all or take to long to find a solution.Not even all the states in the U.S have an Anti-Bullying law. Only about 49 states have laws against bullying and only half will actually end up have an actual serious consequence. Each state has a law after someone has been bullied to an extreme extent. With that, does that mean someone must encounter a tragic encounter to get a law? They can take too long once the bullying was reported to take effect. When they report the bullying, a lot of times the police of the school or administrators take too long or deal with other "more important" things then to deal with your case.Since that, it would keep going on (the bullying) until someone crosses the line and something will happen. Such as maybe the bullied child committing suicide or running away, and yet all that could have been prevented if they would have just dealt with the case.

  • Why Students Should Not Go To College Essay

    1060 Words  | 3 Pages

    There are different types of high school graduates in America: some seniors already know what they are aiming for the future and some others wish not to know, while several others care less about their future – even if they are going to graduate in a couple of days. Few from the ones who are planning to go to college are just going to figure out themselves. Why go to college when you are just trying to figure out yourselves? Why should you not just take a year off for that? Taking a year off to refresh the brain would really help the students to decide on their future life. The graduated high school students should not be forced to attend college because some students present financial problems, lack of motivation, and lack of interest.

  • Education: The Key to Overcoming Poverty and Capitalism

    Education is important because it prevents my friend Kenzie from becoming a stripper to support herself and her family. Education is important because it prevents my mother from becoming homeless. Education is important because it helps me bring food to the table. All of these are reasonable arguments as to why education is important. Although our society shouldn’t prioritize its importance based on of materialistic greed, it can’t pulled out of the equation completely. Some might say that capitalism is ruining our education system but that is simply not true. In like many ideology and other religious groups, there are always the extremists that blows things out of proportion. The system requires tests, homework, school assignment, for students

  • Making Schools Better For Children Alexandra Sifferlin Summary

    Alexandra Sifferlin wrote an article in the Time magazine on making schools better for kids. In the article, she describes seven major points of change in schools to make kids happier and healthier. The seven changes are as follows: ditch traditional homework, make recess mandatory, screen kids for mental illness, prioritize diversity, turn discipline into dialogue, let students customize their curriculums, and start classes after 8:30 a.m. The article tells us that experts are trying to create policy changes in school since children spend such a large portion of their time there. Although this may sound like an excellent idea I have found two flaws in this reform of the school system. They are as follows.

    Many kids are being bullied in schools all around our nation. This behavior has been repeated for too long. Kids bully others, they are being bullied, or they witness the bullying.

  • Bullying in America

    1577 Words  | 4 Pages

    Although almost every state in the United States of America has a state law or a policy about bullying, its consequences, and how to report it, the laws and policies have not been fully effective. "I just finally took it up with the cop at the school, but he can't do anything unless it's physical. It's hard because now I feel like I'm alone in this" (quoted by Forbes). By not acting on an incident because it is not technically a physical altercation is an example of the weakness in the state laws and policies that have been passed. Many victims do not generally go to law enforcement, school administrator, or a parent and report bullying and if were too they should never have to feel like they have been forgotten about or that their bully has gotten away with their unacceptable behavior. “More than two-thirds of students believe that schools respond poorly to bullying, and that ...

    ... not giving them the resources to deal with bullying, because for the most part schools are under resourced. However, children have the right not to be bullied at school. It has negative consequences for both their mental and physical health, immediately and in their futures. Governments, schools, teachers and parents have an obligation to work collaboratively to ensure that children's rights are upheld. There needs to be progressive change towards resourcing our schools with the tools to help prevent and respond to bullying. Equal rights between adults and children is questionable, the power imbalance that is created has a significant negative impact on a child's right to be free from harm and their right to participate in school. Moreover, as a society we have a moral obligation to reflect on the social pressures we are creating, that our children have to face.

    Bullying is a repeated harmful act that continues to affect millions of students every year. There is no stereotypical person that is a target for bullying; anyone can be its victim. There may not always be any signs of physical harm during these attacks, but our children always suffer emotional harm. Educating students, teachers and parents seems to be the only valid solution to this problem. There are many organizations that can educate the schools on this subject but for it to work people must care. Maybe one day, when enough people realize that this problem will not go away with out their help, we can eliminate bullying from our schools. In a perfect world there would be no bullying, but if you could ask Rachel Scott she would tell you we do not live in a perfect world, only a hopeful one.
