Children Neglected By Andre Bryant
Students can’t be neglected because the end result of this is them having no ambition and low self-esteem.

    Death at an Early Age by Jonathan Kohl: Rare and Candid Glimpse Inside the Educational System

    In this book, written by Johnathan Kohl, we are given a rare and candid glimpse inside the educational system in the city of Boston in the 1960’s. As Kohl describes the treatment that minority students endured at the hands of their teachers, it becomes clear that the title of the book is an accurate depiction of the times. As we read about teachers calling students terrible names and treating minority students with contempt and disgust, it is apparent how the spirit of the students were slowly dying inside. Although this was over fifty years ago, this type of treatment still occurs everyday in schools all over the nation. Whether a child be a minority race, have a learning disability or have behavior issues, it is not uncommon for them to be treated in a way that negatively effects their self esteem, causes them to dislike school and eventually, little by little, takes away their hope. No child should be left hopeless. Everyone needs something to be proud of, whether it be one small talent they possess or just one person who believes in and respects them. It is the job of a teacher to build a child’s self-esteem and self-respect and above all, their hope for the future. Without hope, a child will not aspire or dream. There must be procedures in place to ensure that teachers know what is and isn’t acceptable in terms of interacting with children. I have experienced this first hand in my personal life. My son has Asperger’s syndrome. He can be difficult to handle. Because he misreads social cues he wold often misunderstand what his teachers were asking him and answer incorrectly. He repeatedly told me that his teacher yelled at him and didn’t like him. He wouldn’t even tell them when he was sick because he didn’t want to make them angry. One of his teachers screamed at him so loud at the end of the school day that he was literally shaking when he arrived home. I understood their frustration but I didn’t…

    Marita's Bargain

    At Anaheim schools, students avoid getting help with their homework. Students go home unsure on how to complete their homework. Many students end up having trouble doing their homework and many of them struggle in their classes. While others feel that homework isn’t their first priority for them. In order to increase student success at Anaheim Schools students must sacrifice the time to better their learning and get help. In the essay, Marita’s Bargain by Malcolm Gladwell, the author states, “ Is this a lot to ask of a child? It is. But think of Marita’s perspective. In return, KIPP promises that it will take kids like her who are stuck in poverty and give them a chance to get out” (14). Gladwell says that students who are committed to school,…

    Compare and Contrast “University” and “Warren Pryor”

    The good intentions of the parents result in an awkward distance between them and their children. In “Warren Pryor,” the parents “marveled how [Warren] [wears] a milk-white shirt on work days” as this not something a farmers working on the fields would wear. His privilege to wear clean shirts and jeans on Sunday makes them believe he is different socio-economically. To think for them to be close again would just be awkward. Similarly, in “University,” the parents claim to the children that” [they] are changed, too good for [the parents] now,” showing belief in that they do not fit in with their children anymore. Since the parents believe their kids are too good them, they do not think they should anymore. In both stories, close families of parents and children grow distant from each other because of a barrier of education and social status. It can already be seen that contrary to popular belief, education does not necessarily bring happiness. The protagonist in “Warren Pryor is described as “hard and serious” (12-13) because he feels “like a young bear trapped in a cage” unable to do what he desires. He felt as if he owed it to his parents to become what his parents want him to become. In “University,” the parents are unsatisfied as “something they wished for (has)…

    Social Class And The Hidden Curriculum Of Work By Jean Anyon Summary

    Most parents in working class schools don’t have the best jobs, they don’t have the best income, and they don’t have the best school systems to send their children to. Anyon found that kids in the working class schools, some programs were different than others. One school would go into depth about a certain topic, and another would barely touch on the topic and the teacher would make no effort to try and help the students. The teachers wouldn’t let the children out when the bell rang, keeping them after class to continue the work so the teachers could socialize. In working class schools, Anyon says that the teachers care more about themselves than their students.…

    Practicum Action Inquiry

    Parental involvement in education is when a parent participates in and supports their child’s education. Parents can also support their child by volunteering in the school their child is enrolled in and by participating in school and events in the community. Several contributing factors affect the process of parental involvement taking place in the school community. The environment and child’s background are a few of the issues that affect the school and community on the regular basis. I feel that quite a few issues should be addressed and looked into by school administration as well as educators. One of the most important concerns is the lack of guardian involvement in a child’s academic progress. The absence of guardian interaction affects the child’s self-esteem, performance in school, school climate, and interaction in the community. I have taught for the last five years and noticed pupils, who have guardians and caretakers seemingly disconnected from their student’s academic instruction display problems with remaining interested motivated and engaged in their education.…

    Baumrind Parenting Style

    These parents are also known as the “uninvolved parents”, and uninvolved is exactly what they are. I like to describe these parents as the “lazy parents”. They don’t care what actions the child takes and does not support, encourage, or regulate the child in any way. (Ballantine) Neglectful parents also do not show any warmth or nurture to their child and only give them the bare necessities such as food and shelter. (Walton) According to Watson, neglectful parents find themselves being too busy or self-involved that they don’t have the “time” to teach their children life skills, support them in school, or be there for any recreational activities. Children that are raised by neglectful parents often think that are unimportant and have an incredibly low sense of self-esteem. They tend not to do well in school, develop anxiety, depression and often feel lonely and end up feeling withdrawn from society.…

    Sean's Story

    The parents who demand it motivated mainly by their own need or in the words of Sean’s mother, Dee Begg, are they moved by a child’s need "to be out in the world, to experience it"? The parents who stay with schools like Ridge maybe limiting their children’s potential or as Bobby’s mother maintains, would sending him to a regular school be like “putting a 5-foot-2 kid on the varsity basketball team and expect to succeed". The teachers who complain about the burden of teaching disabled children maybe merely shirking or are they responsibly concerned that the rest of the class is being deprived of its due attention?…

    The High Cost of Low Expectations

    Student living conditions many times dictate how well children do in school and they may help determine if a child may be a risk for dropping out. Sherry admits in her essay that in the past, she herself has excused many of her students’ less than desirable academic skills due to poor living conditions such as drug use in the home, alcoholism, poverty, and divorce. After giving more thought to the issue, Sherry decided to look at these failing students more as personal and professional challenges. She realized she needed to stop making excuses for their failures and do something about it. Yes, poor living conditions can be a contributing factor in a student’s academic downfall but they do not have to. Children need to know that hard work equals success and that no one will allow them to just breeze through school. Children need to have a healthy fear of failure and know that failing is a real threat. Teachers can help by finding creative and interesting ways to gain their students attention and…

    The Sanctuary Of School Lynda Barry Analysis

    In Lynda Barry’s narrative essay,“The Sanctuary of School,” Barry describes how schools have become a refuge for neglected children across the country, as well as how the ongoing budget, and extracurricular cuts are destroying their refuge. Barry grew up in a neglectful household, which she stated, “The high levels of frustration, depression, and anger in my house made my brother and me invisible,”(pg 1). Being a young child at that time, Barry could only rely on receiving attention at school, since she was nonexistent in her own household. One early morning, Barry arrived at her school before sunrise and was able to assist her school’s janitor. As she continued to aid the janitor, she was…

    Long Term Effects Of Untreated Children

    Without the care and knowledge, children will easily be influenced by bad behaviors of other students or even adults and follow their footsteps. If children are not aware of themselves as a person then they cannot change for the better. For instance, an overweight young boy who is teased about his weight may withdraw socially and become depressed and may be reluctant to play with others or exercise, which further contributes to his poor physical health and as a result poorer mental health. These issues have long-term implications on the ability of children and youth to fulfill their potential as well as consequences for the health, education, labor and criminal justice systems of our society.…
