Problems in the Schools
BULLYING
I will be covering a variety of problems in our schools. One of the most talked about problems, especially here in Southwest Virginia, is the problem of bullying. Scott Memorial Middle School has tried to implement a policy that is out of date. This out of date policy in no way shape or form helps our students combat this problem. What is happening is students are being bullied and hazed to where they have physical abuse, or psychological abuse.
The problem with this out of date policy is that students are being bullied and their potential are not being met. In one particular instance an investigator went down to the school to see where the cameras in the halls were posted. Due to the fact that they had no expert in security surveillance consult them, the school has blind spots where these bullies know where the cameras do not reach so they can avoid detection.
Another factor of this problem is that the bullies are getting ideas from a game. When a game becomes a blue print for actual violence, then there needs to be rules in place to actually stop this kind of behavior from being in the schools. The most common game that is being used to promote fear in students is a role playing game called, The Godfathers. The game has rules that state you must choke your victim till he is blue and can not breath. What kind of games are our schools allowing to be played?
Reports are coming in from students that are being attacked in the bathrooms and halls where there is no camera placement. If this kind of behavior is allowed to continue, then students will not be able to learn effectively because the staff can not get control of their own schools.
This is not a small problem, it is a problem that has spread across the world and needs to be stopped in order to raise our education. As you can see this problem strikes fear in public schools across the world and it needs to be remedied in order to secure our future. The officials of this country need to stop contributing to a world business agenda and start focusing on the actual needs of the people not themselves.
