Reflection #4

         I think that school violence and vandalism is a huge concern in the schools these days. Violence can be from gangs, all types of bullying, and students destroying school property. Schools can improve the gang violence by having students wear uniforms, create an alternative school for children with continuous violence issues. Having polices that are enforced and making sure that parents are aware of the situations that are occurring in the campus. Enforce the zero tolerance policy for bullying. Beach sullying occurs every day and sometimes as teachers they may not see it but once they turn their backs, it is happening. Cyber bullying has on a daily basis and many children get depressed and feel that their life is not worth living and eventually feel miserable and take their own lives. It's been an issue in the past and that's why as teachers, we need to be on top of any type of bullying, harassment and teasing. In the classroom the teachers need to set rules, guidelines, a respect model for each student as well as for other teachers. As a teacher you need to have control in the classroom and your classroom management skills must be implemented to control a hostile environment.
