Kingdom Hall Of Jehovah's Witnesses Case Study

Improved Essays
Many children attending school are considered to be “troubled” or “disrespectful.” This may be due to a lack of parental guidance or to disorders such as Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) or Attention Deficit/ Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder is defined as “one of the most common childhood disorders and can continue through adolescence and adulthood. Symptoms include difficulty staying focused and paying attention, difficulty controlling behavior, and hyperactivity” ( Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder).Children diagnosed with ADD may be given less attention in the classroom than other student that do not have this disorder. This could cause the children to fall behind in their educational courses and …show more content…
In this religion, education is very important and reading skills are valued dearly. If the troubled child learned about this religion in school it could spark their interest and make them want to learn more about the religion. The Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses is a place where members gather together and hold services discussing the ible, similar to the average church. If the child decided to attend the services he would be offered many different opportunities to read religious pamphlets, improving his reading skills. This will not only help the child feel more confident in school, but will raise the child's self confidence in knowing that he has come such a long way. Overall religions want to deliver hope. No matter if one is a Jehovah's Witness or a Buddhist, the main goal is to find a way to make life better now, and give hope that in the future change will happen. Whether this change is going to be a life in heaven or living on a paradise Earth, they all promise that change will occur some day but no one knows when that day is going to be. (Jehovah's Witnesses-Official

    However, it would be better if the author considered some positive sides of having prayers in school like promoting morals and encouraging children to help others. But in general, the argument is stronger because the article talks about consequences of having prayers in real life. The article contains some impressing real life examples that perfectly shows the impacts of having prayers on children and indicates how having different religious thoughts can cause its holder get offended and ridiculed by other children.

    The book by Rachel Janney and Martha Snell titled, Behavioral Support, was a great read for any teacher, administrator, or other school staff member. Behavioral Support provided many suggestions for students who need more positive behavioral support in school to help them be successful. The text gave me more insight on how behavior is learned and can be changed. The text posed the following question, “Why do people act in ways that are difficult to understand, disturbing to others, and even destructive to self, others, and property?”(Janney, Snell, 5). This question really made me reflect on my own experiences as a teacher in working with students who have been distracted and/or hard to understand.…

    Making a change in the world for the health care provided to Jehovah’s Witnesses didn’t become so personal until recently. My cousin who is a Jehovah’s Witness as well passed away last month after being put on the waiting list for liver transplant. She got sick two weeks before, but really didn’t think anything of it until she started having sharp stomach pain and was having trouble walking. She and her husband went to the hospital that night, there they tried to give her a blood transfusion, but since we do not accept blood as Jehovah’s Witnesses she refused to take it. The hospital they were at in Austin couldn’t assist her any further so they transferred her to the hospital down here in Katy where things started to take a turn for the worse.…

    Teachers have a vast amount of control over the young formative years of installing certain ideas and beliefs in children. That being we must have a deep concern over what is being portrayed to children involving religion. We must address the importance in not just understanding of different religions, but the concept of tolerating them, not because you are forced, but because you understand the role religion plays in each person’s life. Religion connects to vast amounts of situations and is deeply rooted in our history. We must not confuse our own ideas, with the illusion that one religion is better than the other.…
