Adversity In The Classroom: A Case Study

Why do physical abuse happen to kids by teacher? I am always hearing in the news or social media that a student was physical abuse by a teacher. When we as parents leave our children at school we want to feel safe that our child is in someone else care. We want our child to feel safe and sound in school and in that classroom. Can we prevent the physical abuse from teachers, why does the buildup of physical abuse even start, why don't kids speak up, and do teachers get fired from this issue.

The concept of bullying in the school system has been linked to many homicides and

Most kids say that they don’t see bullying around school. In just Minnesota alone there is talk about bullying and how to prevent it. Sen. Franken states, “Nine out of 10 LGBT kids are harassed or bullied in school. One-third report having skipped school in the last month because they felt unsafe” (Shah 14). Kids should not feel unsafe to go to school. School is supposed to be a safe place to go and if someone needs help there are supposed to be people there to guide them. Franken adds, “But the sad fact is that our federal laws are failing” (Shah 14). Laws have been made to try to stop bullying, but bullying continues to exist. This shows how out of control bullying is becoming.

There are many instances where incivility occurs at school or work. An example can be if someone doesn’t thank you for opening the door for them. I observed an uncivil matter at school when several students were busy texting during class and not paying attention to the lecture given. The teacher gave the students a warning by giving them the opportunity to put up the phone. However, the students refused to listen and appropriate discipline was taken. This was a cause of incivility since the teacher was wasting her time while their phones were distracting them from focusing.

School is the place where everyone is given equal opportunity to learn and shape himself or herself into contributing members of society.

Bullying and incivility (B&I) has become near and dear to my heart because I was bullied a few years ago by my supervisor. In the midst of the occurrence, it was very upsetting and after the occurrence I made up excuses for her behavior. But the next day on my way to work, my heart started racing, my stomach was upset and I was just really uncomfortable and anxious. At that point, I knew that I had to do something about it. I consider myself a strong person and can put up with a lot. So I imagined this happening to someone who did not have my same spirit and asked how would they feel, how often does bullying occur in our current setting and what has been done to combat bullying and incivility. Unfortunately, leadership has

The public school system has been governed by landmark cases and school law throughout history. One of the early cases was Brown v. Board of Education in 1954 where the Supreme Court declared it unconstitutional for states to have separate public schools for black and white students (Hubbard, 2014). Since 1954, the public school system has had a series of landmark cases which effect educational law such as Tinker v. Des Moines (1969), New Jersey vs. T.L.O. (1985), Hazelwood v. Kuhlmeier (1988), and Individuals with Disabilities Act (1990). The State and Supreme Courts have ruled on everything from Freedom of Speech to Special Education.

Bullying is a form of social interaction that is shaped by social norms of youths and adults as well schools and broader society. Bullying used to be thought of a playground hazard, perhaps even an essential rite of the passage. Most of the time have changed and there is increasing recognition that bullying can affect anyone, of any age, from childhood to adulthood, and that it makes lives miserable and unpleasant. Online and offline bullying are often related. A bullying relationship in school often extends to technology devices.

The Department of Education exists to create equal opportunities for all its students. However, with the increase in bullying rates, the U.S education system fails to make it clear that bullying is intolerable. Bullying’s harmful impact on students’ well being has been studied and continues to be researched. The U.S Department of Health & Human Services defines bullying as the “unwanted aggressive behavior among school aged children that involves a real or perceived power imbalance” (2014). Bullies can be identified as people who use their power to manipulate or inflict unnecessary pain on others. In the U.S, bullying rates in secondary school are still on the rise. According to the National Center for Education Statistics and the Bureau of

The LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, & transgender) community does not only face adversity in the public's eyes, but also at places where you should feel the most welcomed like home and school. Not only is having interest in the same sex becoming an issue for some, but also having legal procedures that allow you to openly express who you are as a person. Rather it's being born a male with females intentions or vice versa, this has became a public issue made towards both male and females in public restrooms. Discussions between states, former President Obama, current President Trump, school systems and people concerned about inequalities, have debated that it would be best for everyone to use the restroom according to gender at birth, meanwhile,

Kids ages 14 to 17 get sent out of class everyday for being disruptive in class while the teacher is teaching. Some teachers struggle to deal with kids that are disrespectful in class. Parents don't send students to school to act out because students are taught better than that at home. Some students attend school just to act out and are an embarrassment to how their parents feel. It'll make them look bad, like they didn't teach you home training. They argue that, at school entry, children face new behavioral demands for school adaptation, including getting along with peers and teachers and following a broad range of classroom rules.

“Does anyone have any questions?” Ms. Smith, the counselor, asked. She was making the rounds around the middle school gathering each class and made sure to know what bullying and abuse was. She wanted everyone to know that we are safe at school and could talk to her. We were all silent in response to her question. Me especially. Looking around my seventh grade home economics class with all of the students gathered around the front of the class, and thinking ‘someone else in here has experienced that’. Not the bullying, the abuse. My palms were sweaty and my face turned red with worry. I first thought ‘that sounds like what I go through at home. I thought all parents did that’. Then my mind raced to ‘What if I were to tell the school?’,

Bullying in Australian primary schools has become an epidemic, having a negative effect on children’s learning and development (Lodge, 2014).
