The school is step for children to grow up
as an adult. The first step would be the elementary school and the last would
be high school. The incident happened where children has yet learned to be
grown adult. In Rio Rancho Middle school, one science teacher pushed a young
student, called him “a stupid idiot,” and put him in a dark lab classroom. The
incident was reported by the school one day after the child and his parent came
forward and reported to the school.
I think there are two primary problems. The
school is not the place just for students to learn math, science, history, English
and etc... Especially in lower schools like middle school where “young children”
spend most of their time, students quickly learn from what they see, listen and
feels. Base on those young and new experiences, the children create their
personality and characters. People say “children are our future.” I believe in
this statement. However, children are our future not just because they will
learn more mathematical equations and science technology. They are our future
because they would have better personality and characters. Therefore, the
teachers, and adults should never forcefully and violently act to the kids.
Also, just because teachers and adults have bigger head than the children’s,
they do not have more human rights. People should look at each child as one
human and respect them as same human.
Another problem is within the school. After
the parent reported the child abuse by the science teacher to the school, the
actual report to the police took one day. The school thought through the case
and measures the disadvantage. The school hesitated to call the police thinking
about the response that they have to take. I believe this is bigger problem. I
think these child abuses in schools like middle and elementary schools happens
not many times, but few in a year. However when schools are trying to hide the
incidents for their benefits, the child abuse in schools would never be found
and never be fixed.
