Social Hierarchy In High School

In high school surviving is the hardest things to do, when anyone first come there. The best thing to do is finding a clique of people and join them. Finding different cliques are not that hard, but knowing who they are and adapting the environment is one of the hardest thing to do in high school. Finding a wrong clique can lead anyone straight down to a life of hell or worse. Students who entering high school can identify the types of cliques of student are in, and join up with whatever cliques that their find is good for them.

Findings from a recent Ofsted report have shown that low-level disruption in the classroom is causing pupils to potentially lose up to one hour of learning each day, and that this may have a detrimental impact on their life chances (Ofsted, 2014). Difficulties managing behavior is a commonly reported source of stress and burnout among teachers, and is resulting in a substantial number leaving the profession within 5 years (Ford et al, 2012). Disruptive behaviour is not only stressful for teachers, but it can be unsettling for pupils, can hinder pupils enjoyment of school and can prevent pupils from fulfilling their potential (Gorard, 2010). Although there has never been a time when all pupils behaved well, all of the time (Viser, 2005), it is important that teachers have a good understanding of the challenges they may face in the classroom, and are equipped with effective strategies to help them manage classroom behaviour. After all, effective behaviour management and discipline in schools is a crucial to ensuring academic success and a positive and safe learning environment (Luisellia et al, 2005).

The first thing I will talk about in this book is the positive and negative effects of physical contact with your students. Michie, the main character, was in an incident where he was accused of touching a student inappropriately. Although the truth was revealed that he didn’t do what he was accused of, it shows how physical contact with a student can have a negative impact on a teacher’s career. Even though Michie was merely trying to console a person, children look for attention in any way they can find. This incident nearly cost Michie his job, but at the same time, a big part of teaching is showing the kids you care for them. Michie believes it is hard to care for people if you keep them at arm’s length, and I agree. Physical contact is an

Middle school was the point in every middle scholar’s life to find a group where they fit in. These groups were called cliques, a group centered around gossiping about others and even gossiping about one another in the group. In middle school this group became your community. The group you do everything with and told everything to. This group is almost like your other family. Sadly, this community, the people you surround yourself with can lead to negative thinking about others. Your community can easily persuade your actions and thoughts because the people you surround yourself with have such a big influence on your life.

In high school people usually fall into "cliques" or certain groups of people they hang around with. College and high school are similar; an example is that if someone plays football tend to spend more time with each other. They usually talk with one another or share a bond which no one else usually has. In high school people tend to do the same thing, kids group up with either the jocks or other groups. People just make friends more easily if they have something in common.

High school High school is a very crucial part of everybody’s life filled with many learning moments and also times that most would like to never redo. This being said we all go through this time and we can all relate to the stereotypes that come along with high school. Some were on the top and others were on the bottom, but everyone had their specific place.

When a student would be disruptive or too loud, it made other students lose focus and want to be disruptive too. There was one student who was constantly disruptive and would not listen or follow along with the lesson. He was isolated from the round table, but continued to cause problems. He got his name wrote on the board, but he continued to misbehave. The

First, high schools do have cliques that unify students by groups. However, that doesn’t mean students confine in the groups they are “assigned” to, as shown in most movies representing cliques. In the movie The Breakfast Club, the five main characters used to represent the school all come from different crowds, which ultimately results in showing how they can still get along even though they don’t necessarily hang out with the same people. The characters are defined as “a brain, an athlete, a basket case, a princess, and a criminal.” These labels divide the characters into

Every school has its own weird cliques: jocks, rich kids, geeks, general misfits, future drug addicts, current drug addicts, etc. My school had a group of girls who were seemingly linked only by the fact their brothers worked at a local McDonald's. This is all to say, these labels are mostly meaningless. Making new friends requires opening yourself up to people you might not see as potential bestie material on the surface. Despite pressure from others, try never to judge people by their clothes, race, gender, or anything other than how they treat you. Some of your most faithful friends might come from surprising

So what draws students together? What leads to the formation of these social groups- and why don’t they get along? Are these questions the key to finding why some people loved High School, and why others loathed

In the famous movie, “The Breakfast Club, we see how five teenagers, each members of different high school cliques, who spend a Saturday in detention together and come to realize that they are all more than their respective stereotypes. High school cliques determine who, what and where they belong. Most of the high schools have "cliques"; which are groups of students with similar interests that hang out together. When looking at what really goes on in the average high school, and how friendships are formed, it is amazing. When observing the jock, nerd and the popular kids, one must wonder where they fit in.

This is very evident in the kindergarten classes. During special classes, such as music or P.E., students do not have the tutors or helpers that they have in the classroom. This change in independence makes the student act out because he or she may not know how to act around their other friends in an appropriate way. For instance, most of the kindergarteners tend to act crazy during their library classes. This may cause the sequestered students to act out in order to receive more attention from either the teachers or other students. During their library classes, one kindergartner, Jacob, is usually accompanied by an adult the entire day except during special classes. So during this time when all of his friends are acting wild, he takes it a step further and starts screaming and sprinting through the library. It seems as though the constant supervision hinders the younger students’ ability to make wise decisions when around other

Every high school has different cliques. There's the popular ones, the athletes, the nerds, etc. One difference between each school is the way they show the cliques. For Abby Warner's school there's "the list". In this "list" it names the prettiest and ugliest girls in school.

Authoritative teachers will often “try to catch their students being good” and will reinforce the good behavior, rather than focusing on the bad. (Iannelli, 2004). It is critical that teachers praise their students for their efforts. A teacher can teach the entire classroom by recognizing one child’s positive action. Children desire praise and they will learn appropriate behavior when their fellow students receive praise. When teachers focus on bad behavior and make an example of a particular student to the entire classroom, it only makes the child that is being reprimanded feel alienated, ashamed, embarrassed, or possibly revengeful.

Sometimes parents might save up money, and hope that their child will have a better future by, sending them to school.
