Teachers vs. Parents
Growing up in the city of Philadelphia can be very difficult for the children of todays society. To be considered the “City of Brotherly Love,” theres not alot of it in our schools. Everyday there is at least one child being hurt by another child in school. Many people wonder how children can come to school in such a negative mindset. Thats because the parents dont show a high level of discipline but neither do the teachers. Parents should be running the homes and teachers should be running the classroom, not the children. If schools want to stop the violence they must first get the parents involved and and get the teachers to teach.
Over the years, many people believe that the teachers have grown to be afraid of the children, as well as the parents. Seems like to me that the teachers dont care about the kids but only there paychecks. Also, the parents dont really show any discipline. They basically let the children do whatever they want. For example, parents let their kids stay out all night. By allowing the children to stay out on the streets where the violence really is, they take that with them wherever they go. Either its there home or the schools. When I was younger, I had to go in when the street lights came on, I guess it kinda of paid of because Im not a violent person and I dont drink or smoke. If the teachers and parents band together, I think it would be less violence in the homes as well as in the schools.
When violence is the atmosphere, no one is at peace, not even God himself. In order for the violence to stop in schools, it must first be dealt with at home. Parents cant allow their children to just walk and talk all over them. When children think that they can control the home theyll soon try to rule the schools. Children are going to be children. Theyre not going to listen, theyre gonna talk back, thats just what they do. If the parents would learn how to control there children then maybe they wouldnt treat the schools so badly. The teachers are also at fault, they just let the children say or do whatever they want. The teachers want the money but they arent willing to do the job. A teachers job is not to just teach the children, but it is also to prepare them for the real world.
Daniel Boone is a disciplinary school where children with behavior problems go. I was one of those children so I know whats it like the to be in a negative atmosphere. I wasnt there long but I know I wanted to get out as soon as possible. The more our youth stay in an environment which only breeds negativity, the more trouble they will
