Recommended: Importance of respect in school by the students

For many students such as myself school is a place where we can discuss our opinions about relevant issues. Many people believe discussing controversial topics in a classroom setting can be both beneficial and harmful to students. Some people argue having those discussions in a classroom will help the students better prepare for real world situations where they will have to defend their beliefs. Other people would argue that student having discussions like that would make students feel uncomfortable and attacked. I believe having those discussions in a classroom setting can be extremely beneficial; students will be able to learn how to properly argue for and against certain topics. A classroom setting like this will also provide student with

  • Censorship in schools

    1378 Words  | 3 Pages

    While students have First Amendment rights, there are still some things that the school is allowed to control. Censorship in school is important because it can minimize distractions and other behavioral problems. It also gives parents peace of mind and students the feeling of security. It is also important for a student to be able to express themselves. People express themselves in different ways, and they have the constitutional right to do so whether they’re on school grounds or not. Censorship is a very controversial issue and should not be taken lightly. There are many things to consider when censoring, and it’s important to have balance between censorship and freedom in schools.

  • A Class Divided

    890 Words  | 2 Pages

    A Class Divided The film A Class Divided was designed to show students why it is important not to judge people by how they look, but rather who they are inside. This is a very important lesson to learn: people spend too much time looking at people not for who they are but for what ETHNITICY they are. One variable that I liked about the film is that it showed the children how it felt to be on both sides of the spectrum. The HYPOTHESIS of the workshop was that if you out a child and let them experience what it is like to be in the group that is not wanted because of how they look and then make the other group the better people group that the child will have a better understanding of not to judge a person because of how they look but instead who they are as people. I liked the workshop because it made everyone that participated in it, even the adults that took it later on, realize that you can REHABILITAE ones way of thinking.

    ...o school. The dissenting opinion simply argued that freedom of speech is not to be used as a disturbance. Therefore, those students’ right to expression or speech was not violated because it interfered with the classroom’s learning. There is a time and place for everything, and freedom of speech should not be used everywhere.

  • Should College Students Have A Safe Zone Essay

    776 Words  | 2 Pages

    Universities throughout America are debating implementing safe zones for students. These safe zones are areas where college students can go in order to essentially be shielded away from different opinions that counteract with their own which they may find to be off-putting or offensive. These safe zones are meant to “protect” students, but in reality, it is simply delaying their growth as well as defeating the whole reason as to why many people even attend college. Most students attend college pursuing higher education and seeking self-growth. The idea of safe spaces would take away from this goal that students have when they are attending universities. Safe zones disable students from having the opportunities to learn from peers who have a different outlook than their own. College is a time for students to mentally develop and challenge what they believe in safe zones do not prepare students for the real world as college should be doing, but simply discourage students from expanding their views and seeing the world from

  • First Amendment Rights In School Essay

    1139 Words  | 3 Pages

    Some teachers do not allow any talking during class at all, even when students are just working independently. Students need to be able to collaborate with each other to help each other out and create new ideas. If a student says something that the teacher does not like the teacher can punish the student, an example of this is the case of Bethel v. Fraser; Matthew Fraser gave a speech to the school that contained offensive and sexual references and then officials at the school then punished him for saying those things (What are the free expression rights of students in public schools under the First Amendment?). The teacher can also send that student to the principal and the punishment could end up being suspension or expulsion. An example of this is one of my good friends was in his PE class a couple weeks ago, his teacher said something that he did not like. So he decided to yell back at the teacher, no one was in danger, the teacher did not like what my friend had said so he got sent to security and eventually go

  • Common Ground At School

    380 Words  | 1 Pages

    I am writing this letter today to explain my situation and hopefully find some common ground with the school about the exact reasons my grades were so poor last year. Before coming to Mason, I was an honor student who had never even failed a course let alone obtained a lower ranking grade such as a D. The real reason I struggled this past semester was because of health issues that bogged me down and presented me with the challenge of being able to attend class regularly and participate at an efficient output with my school work. From about late October time all the way to the Spring my body was at war with itself dealing with walking pneumonia. I would come down with headaches, cough frequently, feel sluggish and light headed at times, and

  • Black Armband In School

    291 Words  | 1 Pages

    Students should be able to express themselves at school and anywhere else they decide. I, Mary Beth Tinker, wanted to wear a black armband on my arm and fast during the holidays. I wanted to demonstrate my First Amendment rights and my views on the Vietnam War. It was a simple black armband that caused a uproar and change for the children. All children have the right to express Freedom of speech. Walking into a school building does not stop your rights as a citizen. This is where I began my case. Other students and I sued the school district. We believed we were doing nothing to harm other students or cause a huge disruption. Everyone deserves to express their rights. My local district court discharged the case and said that our school district’s

  • The Importance Of A Second Bathroom Fights In School

    203 Words  | 1 Pages

    “Why does this take so long I'm gonna be late for class”,You are thinking angrily. If i could make one improvement to the school it would be to add a 2nd bathroom. Because the lines are to long causing students to be late and it is starting fights and causing other bathroom issues. One reason i think the school should add a 2nd bathroom is its causing late students and causing too many problems like,starting fights, making students late to class,and other issues. Also think it is important for students to learn as much as they can but being late is taking away from that time. With shorter bathroom lines the students can make it to class on time. I believe that this will greatly reduce “accident started fights”, accident started fights are

    Teacher Ethics “Ethics are defined as a set of principles of right conduct; the rules or standards governing the conduct of a person or the members of a profession” (Dictionary of the Human Language, 2000). Teachers are often put in situations that require more than just knowing the basic school rules. It is within these situations, that the ethical dilemmas occur. There is not always a right way to deal with the many daily problems that face educators, but there are ways to handle situations that are better than others. Teachers should follow and refer to a code of ethics to help teach in the most appropriate and ethical way as well as a guide to help deal with dilemmas.
