What do you think of behavior management in a school?

Answer 1

I think there's a lot more that could be done to accommodate for children with a behavioural problem. Often schools have policies in place that will manage the majority of the cohort in the school. However there are some children that simply just don't "fit" into the nice little package school expect. Mainstream schools are quite susceptible to this, where as inclusive schools get finance off the l.e.a to provide internal support from outside agencies. This is for school to use when it seems all other attempts have failed, and where possible exclusions are mounting up. With this funding, schools may employ professionals in the field of behaviour to intervene and implement strategies and compile ibp's (individual behaviour plans). Failing this working, the final straw is a permanent exclusion. This is detrimental to a child's educational record, and often these children, now with a stigma attached to them, will find themselves in pupil referral units. What seems to be the problem is that schools are too hot off the mark to exclude pupils, and dismiss trying different avenues because its time consuming. Some of these children have severe behavioural issues because they have learning difficulties that go un noticed. And they get frustrated within a classroom. Some have social interaction difficulties which make them seem rude and insincere. Some may have a troubled upbringing, and some may even have high functioning autism. All these things could be identified and helped if people in the classroom had less workload, and more time to invest into our young people.

Answer 2

Behavior management in a school is crucial for creating a positive and productive learning environment. Effective strategies, such as clear expectations, consistency, positive reinforcement, and appropriate consequences, help to establish a safe and respectful classroom. It is important for educators to prioritize student behavior and address any issues promptly and consistently to ensure a conducive learning environment for all students.
