Another Serious Problems in The School

The topic in the last meeting was very interesting. We talked about aggression and violence. In my opinion, these are very serious problems which often happen in schools such as defiant students, students’ aggression, bullying and even violence. I have not encounter all of those problems during my school experience but thanks to this course now I know how to deal with those problems.

We call students with opposional behaviour as defiant students. These students are very annoying. They distrupt the class and get annoyed at every little things even some of them refusing the teacher’s instruction. The key of this problem is controlling our temper. Do not let our students control our emotion.  I hope I can handle this kind of student because it is hard for me to control my emotion.

The other problem that often happen in the class is dealing with students’ aggression. Why student becomes so aggressive ? I think, bullying can be the cause. If a student become a victim of bullying of her/his friends, she/he will start to rebel and become aggressive and has big energies to do something bad such as slamming a door or throwing a chair or even doing violation.

I was ever bullied when I was a junior high student in Surabaya. I was a new student and my friends started to call me “anak Jakarta”. I did not like it because it made me different with others and my senior started to hate me because of my accent. It sounds ridiculous when I remember this memory. Fortunately, I have some close friends at that time that always accompanied me so that matter did not bother me.

 

Violence is happening in schools nowadays whether between student and student or even teacher and student. I hate violence and I really against it, there is no excuse to do violence. I think, it is difficult to “cure” violence problem but we can start to “prevent” it. We can teach our students with some moral value such as respect, high-minded, tolerance, etc during our class.
