The different points brought across in this blog can help us to learn how to become better teachers as well as students. Anyon describes to us in different opinions just how bad or good a school can be. If the learning is one that is disciplined, kids are kept in line, there is punishments, caring, orders and directions are followed, and kids are in school to learn due to these factors then the chances for success are unbeatable. One personal experience that i can recognize from my service learning projects is seeing the behaviors, attitudes, and discipline of the kids and the teaching skills of these teachers and relating them to when i was in elementary school. The different things that children are getting away with and the discipline is just not there at all. If i was to do any of those things in my old school i would have been suspended or maybe even expelled. I went to a catholic school where all the kids were polite, kept in line, and the discipline was one at a level of expertise so seeing this is like a whole new world to me. My school relates more to the first couple examples given that was why i had reason to believe those school were public schools.
The kids obviously aren't getting the discipline that they need at home and this is where our jobs at teachers are brought in the picture and we need to step up and make sure that this is changed. There is no reason a teacher cant put a kid in line and make him a better person. The knowledge known by those who teach shouldn't always be about teaching and should play as a role of one who can get these kids into shape and make sure they have the manners and discipline they need to make it in this world. No matter what class they are in a child can always change if the right things are played into the picture.
