Discipline your child
Who should take responsibility when children are caught behaving aggressively in school –– parents or teachers? Poornima Ramani finds out
EVERYTHING is not perfect behind the towering buildings and the beautiful school grounds. When movies portray school children using foul language, disrespecting their teachers and bunking classes, the thought that comes to every viewer’s mind is how far from reality movies really are.
This, however, is not entirely true. Movies sometimes do try to project reality or are projecting something that is soon becoming a reality here on earth, in schools and in classrooms. Children are quite easily influenced by people they consider their idols, especially actors, singers and models. And they believe that what they see the stars do is what is considered proper behaviour, the only guidance they have, being their parents and teachers.
Does this mean we stop the children from watching TV, just because they are trying to ape the wrong behaviour? Should we make them watch only news channels 24/7? What kind of a tab does the parent have on what the child watches on TV?

Whilst it is usual for many parents to feel as if they are to blame for their child's behavior, it's important to remember that you have done the right thing-you have accepted that there is an issue and have collaborated with the teacher to formulate a specific plan to address the problem, so I am sure that your child's class teacher does not think ill of you. Explain to your child's that you still love them but that you are displeased with their behavior and that it will not be tolerated either at home or at school.
Don't be pacifist avoiding something altogether usually leads to a fascination with it or anxiety and fear upon encountering it, so knowledge is a better teacher I want to point out that it won't be possible for your child to shield them from an awareness that violence exists and that by preventing them from learning about it,they actually making it more likely that they will be interested in violence when they does encounter it. It would be much better if you allowed them to learn that it can happen, and what the consequences are when it does. I suggest that allows such exposure gradually like chosen television programmed and reading appropriate stories , followed by discussions.
I taught Spanish in high school for 20 years. The teacher's job is to complete objectives for the subject matter being taught.
When a child misbehaves, that is taking instructional time away from the other students. The other children that are behaving are being cheated out of instructional time because the teacher has to deal with the child that is misbehaving.
If the children get guidance at home and they are exposed to positive role-models (parents), then they will most likely behave in the classroom.
This will hopefully lead to children becoming upstanding
citizens.
and what is that WYSWYG? What language is that?! Well, you can discuss this tomorrow if you want:)
