Are teachers responsible?
I woke up this morning feeling today was going to be perfect, It wasn’t. I was asked to “Piss Off” by a year11 pupil, pushed over by a year9 pupil, abused by my tutor group and told to F… OFF by a yr 10 girl. What is this world coming to? it used to be that students were contained and easy to manage, behaved appropriately and were not a problem to any one. these days, it is the “in thing” to swear at teachers, threathen them, violate them, egg their houses, accuse them falsly to name a few. where did we go wrong? whose fault is all this? Is it the teachers, their parents, the government or what????? we are definately raising a generation of hoodlums and street kids. for them, stealing is a fad, arson, a way for revenge, drinking, fun, drugs, an escape route, sex, the way to go etc In a few years, it’s all going to get worse…. who will be there to pick up the pieces?

I used to believe that the children are the future, i am very much in doubt of that today. No matter the side you are on the arguement, i think everyone is seriously having a rethink.Get Help For Your Essay Here
First, the government thought they could handle it and went about enacting laws that they feel will protect the children. Indicatively, that have created monsters of the children. Having known that they are protected, they have turned that advantage into a night-mare and are terrorizing the rest of us. We are at a cross-road today and the government seems to have lost it. From the homes, to the streets through the classrooms the children rules. Bluntly put, they own you and me.
Secondly, in the society and at the home-front the parents have lost it and are looking to an escape route and are putting the blame on the government. Where have all the parents gone? I think i have an idea, at the pubs of-course enjoying pints after pints; thank goodness for the extended boozing hours. How about the broken homes, sheeps are no longer with shepards. Discipline and respect have all taken flights; morals dips to all-time low and there is no hope for resurrection. I think, there is a need for us to look at the homes and society again where it still exists to see if we can start bringing up respectful children again for the society; rather than the government bringing up the children. However, you may ask; who is in the home and does the society care? Is it run-away father that is pissed or a way-ward mother? Talkless of a socitey that has grown so nonchallant and about to self distruct. Let us look inward to the parents and probably go back to where we lost it. Let us return to the traditional family and the communal society in the real sense of it, just maybe we will find the antidote.
Thirdly, the schools have been made toothless by the government and its unending protective laws.Hence, the teachers are at the recieving end of the rot. It is a pity that the government and parents are all playing the ‘blame game’ with the future of our children. However, this does not exonorate the teachers from their laxity.It is a well known fact that in some cases the teachers are totally unprepared to handle the situations in and outside the classroom. Whatever, your inclination in this arguement,some teachers do not have business being teachers. To instil discipline, one has to have discipline; to be a moral crusader, one has to be of high morals; not only these, a teacher must not be found lacking in whatever standard that is being used to measure such. However, the quality of teachers and teaching staff being paraded in our schools today leaves a lot to be desired. Although, a believer that teachers deserve more than they get;however, a teacher will only earn my respect if his/her effort in and outside the classroom is crowned by the testimony of the children he/she mentors.I think this is where responsibility begins and ends.
Collectively, the government, the teachers, the society and parents are failing the children. It is time for a ‘rethink’, it is time to stop the ‘blame game’;indeed we have spared the rod…., and ASBO is ruling.
