Argumentative Essay On Timeouts

Furthermore into the topic, the 10 minute passing period lets and/or helps teachers prepare for their next period. A longer passing period would prevent students from asking to go use the bathroom, get a drink, or be late, so teacher(s) have the student’s full concentration, “If your student doesn’t have to interrupt you to use the restroom or get some water, it is going to be a better learning environment for the rest of the students. Without these interruptions you may continue your lesson and have student’s full concentration, instead of worrying about their personal needs” (Medina). And also in addition to that, teachers will have more time to prepare for their next class compared to 5 minutes, so teachers can get coffee or take a break during the passing period.

Extreme or aggressive parenting techniques are ineffective and can irreparably damage a child’s psyche. Many children raised by overly strict parents lack initiative and creativity (“Extreme Parenting.”). Scout Masterson and Bill Horn freak-out after seeing the matching cheetah pajamas. They informed Nana that if she repeats the pajama catastrophe she will not be able to have another sleepover with Simone. Simone was only three year old and was going to have her first sleep over with her grandmother. But her nerves and controlling parents kept checking up on her bay video chat. She’s a three year old girl that is not invaded to nanas home a

. Any punishment or treatment for behavior issues must not be 'inhuman or degrading'. It must be suitable taking into account what the child has done.

Students should be able to have longer passing periods for restroom usage, and to also have a snack. According to Jacqueline Hatfield “ I would like a longer passing period because I don’t think 2 minutes is long enough for people to use the bathroom and

The front door squeaks close. One’s child arrived home at 1:00 AM, but was instructed to be home at 10:00 PM. That child came home with his parents waiting on the stairs with hands on their waists. His parents yelled at the boy for twenty minutes and had all electronic devices taken away from him, but the parents needed to first understand what their children did, and how he could have solved the problem. Families shouldn't feel upset and ignore their children because they broke a rule; they should sit down with their child and listen to what they have to say. It’s important for a child to recognize what they did and give them options on how they want to resolve them. Throughout this unit, many parenting styles were presented, including Baumrind's

Time out: This involves the child who has been aggressive being taken to an identified place away from the incident – a corner or chair. ‘Time out’ allows for a calming- down period and for other children and young people to be reassured. This method can work

Children or even an adult get benefit from the break. The research shows that kids learn better and faster when their efforts are distributed, rather than concentrated in one thing. For example, a texas school started giving children four recess a week and saw the immediate positive results from the kids

“Randie, I’m going to put you in time out if you don’t do your homework!” As children, most of us are accustomed to hearing this kind of negative reinforcement from our parents; it is how we are disciplined. Although Bruno Bettelheim asserts in “Art, Social Action & the Preparation of Democratic Citizens” that punishment is an ineffective method of discipline, it is nonetheless the most common (53). The chapter states: “Punishment teaches a child that those who have power can force others to do their will” 51. Because the parent has used verbal or physical punishment to force the child into doing their will, it is understandable that a child would internalize this idea and use it himself to control the actions of others.

In “Bodega Dreams” one can see how Mr. Blessington goes from verbally abusive to eventually become physically abusive later on. His students didn’t like or respect him; they hated and feared him. In a study published in the Contemporary Issues in Education Research titled "Comparison of The Frequency and Effectiveness of Positive and Negative Reinforcement Practices in Schools," it explores these questions. They bring up a point made by P. Methuen who said: "Spare the rod, spoil the child" (qt. in Dad et al). This study suggests that to not use negative reinforcements to drive a child in the right direction would spoil that child. In contrast to that, A.E. Woolfolk, a psychologist who specialized in child education as a professor at the Ohio State University at the time of publication, says that “punishment is, at

2. "A guidance or discipline encounter is an interaction between an adult and child and often includes helping the child alter her behavior in some way" (Marion, 2012, p. 115). Negative discipline strategies tend to focus, as one would assume, strictly on negative behavior. Punishment is often utilized as an attempt to make the child behave in desired manner. A controversial form of negative discipline that it still used in schools is time-outs. During a time-out a child is removed from the group and is isolated for a set period of time. While in a time-out, the goal of the teacher is to have the child think about their negative behavior and to have the child feel remorseful about their previous actions. According to Dan

Parents give consequences because they want their children to know that they should not be making the same mistake twice.

A young girl by the name of Annie is the main character in this children’s book. This book helps educate young children about why their parents tell them what to do and why they get ‘punished’ after not listening. Annie, starts off trying to sneak a cookie out of the cookie jar before dinner and her father has a valid reason why she should not consume a cookie before dinner. Annie signs in frustration and later in the book disobeys her mother by running in the street for a ball when her mother specifically told her not to. Yet again, Annie’s parent has a valid reason as to why she should not go into the street, an illustration in the book pictures a car screeching to a halt in front of Annie. Annie goes on to play rough with her toys, when

An adult who practices punishment, controls a child externally. This communicates to a child that they are not able to control themselves, thus have no responsibility for their actions. Also, it can create in the child’s mind, the idea that they can commit a behavior so long as they do not get caught or are willing to accept the consequences. Behavior that is modified with punishment does not evolve from the understanding of what is expected in a society, but rather from fear. Since no understanding was obtained this will not

Children are going to continue to make mistakes, but they will learn from them just like adults do. So why would we punish them for it? When positive guiding children we can help them see and understand consequences from the choices they make. By using punishment instead of positive discipline can cause possible side effects, such as blocking open communications, punishment represses behaviour, but doesn’t deal with the behaviour, models a negative use of power, and to have continue effect it must escalate in order to remain it’s effectiveness. Using punishment as discipline will create a negative relationship between educator/parent and child. This could lead the child to have negative thoughts about themselves creating a low self-esteem.

In order to push through these struggles during drilling or practicing, harsh punishments may need to be put in place. The need for these punishments allows Chinese parents to get away with “...things that would seem unimaginable - even legally actionable - to Westerners” (Chua). Amy Chua then uses her own experiences to show how harsh the punishments may seem, but in the end the child grows from them. The western parent's strategy toward reprimanding is to do so nicely, in the best attempt not to damage their child's self esteem.
