Loss Of Recess

Decent Essays
"Students who lose recess are the ones who need it most" by Jessica Laney she explains about why students need recess and I agree to what she is saying. They need a break all the learning and most of those who don't go to recess could get upset or mad.

"When a teacher holds a student out of recess, she undermines her relationship with that student. Consequently, student will tune that teacher out just when she should be tuning in and learning". When i was in sixth grade I got in trouble for something unreasonable. My teacher told me I couldn't go out for recess and I would have to write im sorry 100 times until recess was over. I was angry so I decided that wasnt going to pay attention.

For that reason I would always be rude to her,

    Most students who attend school have a small fear or worry about being suspended. But for most troubled students, that consequence is their reward. In the article “ Does Suspending Student Work?”(2012), author Christopher J. Ferguson writes about the his view on how suspension is affecting the students, and believes that its not helping. Many troubled students can’t see the point in going to school 7 days out of the week for 8 hours. The fact that they can stay home on behalf of the school, is an amazing achievement for that student, and will likely occur more than onces.…

    People these days think that students are not learning enough in school. The school thinks it is a good idea to shorten vacation time and go to school all year round with longer breaks. On the other hand, other people think that it is a bad idea to do this because students usually learn things out of school during summer break. The school year should not be lengthened because it stresses adolescents out, it will make them feel pressured, and it does not give them an opportunity to expand their horizons. Students need a break from school after their school year.…

    From the age of two, children are put into the school system, where they will remain for a quarter of their lives. Schools become a safe place for students where no matter what is going on at home or in their community, they know that when they go to school they are safe. The idea that teachers provide a positive, safe environment for children despite what is going on at home is prevalent in Lynda Barry’s, “The Sanctuary of School.” She mentions the positive effects on students, as their teacher’s involvement is important to ensuring their learning process runs smoothly in the classroom, despite what is happening outside of it. I agree with Lynda Barry’s stance stating teachers become a mentor for students, but I believe she overlooks the negatives…

    • “You cannot fully understand how a child is functioning at school without considering the family.” (Pg.35) I pulled out this quote because I feel that as teachers this is especially important to remember when dealing with a student who has classroom behavioral issues. It is easy to automatically judge a student like this, thinking they are just a bad student. In reality most of the time the reason this child is acting out is because of some sort of situation like at home. • “The family worldview is the lens through which the family sees the world.”…

    Powell emphasize on how teachers should be just like a drill sergeant by using the example, “they come to love admire the drill sergeant and they never forget about the drill sergeant. They come to respect him,” meaning that it takes a teacher that will show the discipline that is needed. It takes the rules, the obedience, the consequences, and the discipline needed for the children to come to respect and to listen to them. He also goes on to say, “they can obey instructions and know the consequences of not obeying instructions,” meaning that if teachers would just show the necessary consequences that are needed children will then know that if you do not follow instructions they will be no “buts” or “ifs” about it. If the children do this,…

    Theorists That which follows are brief descriptions of eleven theorists whose works have influence classroom discipline practices. The kinds of thinking they represent was a departure from earlier, less thoughtful approaches. Each theorist offers a unique perspective on human behavior and the role of punishment in a classroom. While some of these theories are outdated, portions of them remain relevant and they have contributed to the work of our modern behavioral theorist. Fritz Redl and William Wattenberg: Discipline through influencing group behavior “Redl and Wattenberg argue that students behave differently in groups than individually.…

    I really enjoyed the time I spent in Mrs. Flinn’s fourth grade classroom over Spring Break. I was able to observe for a total of four hours between Wednesday afternoon and Thursday morning. During my time with the fourth graders, I took a closer look at the solid behavior classroom supports being used. Along with these supports, I was extremely impressed by the way Mrs. Flinn handled classroom management. Even though I observed during a very exciting week, she had great control over her students.…

    In the 21st century, many educators struggle with classroom management and it is very difficult for teachers to teach a lesson where students are not being motivated or engaged. When students are not been motivated or engaged in the lesson, they tend to misbehave and interrupt instruction because their needs are not being met. According to Jones and Jones (2006), he emphasized that fifty eight percent of classroom time allocated for instruction is lost due to student behavior that disrupts their learning and that of others. As I read different pieces of information this week, I discovered the factors involved in why students act inappropriately in the classroom as well as what we need to implement as educators to overcome this issues. The topic this week relates on student behavior, how it impacts student learning and new approaches that can be implemented to create an environment that can be suitable for all students to learn.…
