What are the other ways to educate students?
What are the other ways to educate students?
In my country (Taiwan), teachers were allowed to hit students as a punishment. They were also allowed to give any other pysical punishments,and were allowed to insult and humiliate students. But not anymore, now there are laws against pysical punishments and insulting students. And this make the students much more disrespectful toward the teachers, they curse and slap the teachers, but the teachers can't call the cops either (for the sake of the child's future). This is a problem, becasue there are many students whose parents are too busy at work and have no time to educate or discipline their kids. And those kids in school are a nightmare! They threaten other kids, slap teachers...... etc. and if you expel them from the school, all they have to do is to build another gang in their new school. There are simply no punishments that can make them behave! Can anyone think of any other ways that teachers can make those students behave?

unfortunately, teachers are now finding themselves as parental figures to many of their students. Corporal punishment has a certain affect, but we all know that no one can replace a parent. If teachers were allowed to physically punish or ridicule students, think of the outlash this may cause. Many of the current teachers tdon't take their students into consideration. They think of it as a paycheck and wish they could've moved on in their field (science, math, etc.). Many students fall through the cracks of the educational system because of those teachers. The teachers that care and pay attention to the attitude a student carries are the teachers that are less likely to get cussed out or beaten. those tht take on the responsibility of parent in the classroom may have a better shot than those that use force.

in our classroom(in USA) we have instilled a "rewards" program. They have "things" that they work towards obtaining for example-free time.If they do a good job at one task, they are allowed to do another fun/good thing. I think expelling them is almost a reward to them and a punishment to us. It's usually at home or on the street that they have picked up that behavior to begin with.Putting them in a separate room(monitered of course) where they can't DO much of anything makes for a long day to sit and evaluate their conduct. Role play kindness situations and view lesson building videos together. Sit in a circle and have snack time or meal time so they can share own experiences and see one another in a different light as well as learning how to socialize. This planet has become one of such utter disrespect, it saddens and sickens me. It seems many parents have just given the reigns over to someone else and that someone else is teachers,aids,specialists in the classroom/educational field. I myself would like to make the parents held accountable for their children at young ages.Good luck. Hang in there, what you are doing WILL make a difference(I keep telling myself that anyway)

Talk to them and tell them that what they're doing is wrong.It's what future gang leaders too.Plus,they should focus more on their studies,and tell them if you call the cops,it will ruin their chances of a better life/appear on transcript. =p.In my high school our disciplinarian was effective.We were too embarrased to be reprimanded.
