Focusing on the Child Bully – What Can We Do To Help THIS Child?

- by Harry Simson

We have focused a whole lot on bullying here lately and then for the great reason we now have poured lots of attention around the child who’s been bullied, but I want us to spend time dealing with the child who the bullying. We must keep in mind that this is still a youngster that needs assistance.

I know that no-one enjoys managing a child bully, and it’s really hard to love such an unlikeable individual who exhibits negative, pesky behaviors towards others. Children try to avoid him/her and teachers/administrators aren’t so pleasant toward this child either, but we should have compassion because of this child too.

Believe it or not, children do not come into this world as bullies. Many of them have learned this behavior. Have you ever stopped for just a moment to take into account this? Much of what these children are becoming has been based on their environmental experiences and shaped from home-life and/or other unfortunate variables that they have seen, heard, and perhaps was required to take care of.

Many times the bully is sad and wants to change. He/she doesn’t like him/herself either and wants because of this image, however, they continue in their madness. You’ve heard the misery loves company.

Realizing this could be true for some, perhaps don’t assume all, wise investment to consider a closer inspection at this child. Can we use the “5 W’s and H” strategy in an attempt to dissect, study, and learn about this kind of …

All Hell Is Breaking Loose in Our School Systems in Georgia!

- by Harry Simson

With class sizes increasing and teachers and also other support staff being released, what will occur to our little ones? Students were already suffering, particularly those with special needs. It has been a struggle every year to have the services and support the kids need from teachers b/c these are already overwhelmed. My son’s middle school went from having 3 counselors (one for each grade level) to 2 counselors, and next school year (2010-2011) they’ll only have 1 counselor.

theam even getting times when school systems are trying to dismiss students with disabilities such as Autism from being eligible for special education services. This is outrageous! If we think advocating for our children is hard now, just hold back until next school year. I believe Advocates are going to have their hands full.

As an old School Psychologist, I am disheartened incidentally school systems in Georgia are mistreating dedicated and loyal Educator’s. Salaries for many counselors are already reduced significantly, many positions are completely done away with (i.e., School Nurses in Clayton County Public Schools), while others are put in lower-level positions (i.e., Special Education Coordinators in Atlanta Public Schools will probably be put into classrooms to work as Teachers).

uses current Teachepsychologisthave jobs. Also, yearly contracts for EduIngenieriare held back until the last second after they were also informed about drastic already their current positions. This was done purposefully to prevent one away from having the capacity to sign up for jobs elsewhere should they were hung the changes …

A Crisis In Education

- by Harry Simson

A crisis in education has hit the United States school system. U.S. math grades have plunged to a single from the lowest of advanced economies. And the trend just isn’t inside our favor. A record quantity of students spanning various ages is failing standardized math exams such as regents, SAT’s, and GMATs.

There are a couple of causes for this trend. Firstly, because of state and federal budget cuts, more students are increasingly being squeezed into classes. This makes it quite challenging to enable them to receive individual attention, as well as a longer timeframe for weakness to become addressed. This can result in a spiral of poor grades, a decrease of confidence, frustration, and lost hope.

Another cause is often a decline in teacher quality. Due to federal and state budget cuts, lower annual salaries, or becoming paid to teachers. Not only that, but benefits and pensions are being cut significantly. This drives the top and many committed teachers into the private sector where they can earn many feels appreciated.

The remaining teachers are overworked. Wanting to cut wherever they can school are trying to squeeze the best every teacher. This, however, lowers their standard of performance. They can no longer provide individual attention for college students who need it, nor contain the time for you to concentrate on underperforming students to talk with them as well as their parents about ways to improve.

This can be a problem that isn’t going away, and with the current prevailing attitude …

Why Is Physical Education Class Only Directed Towards the Small Percentage of Athletes?

- by Harry Simson

In traditional sports and physical education classes, educators are only teaching how to stay physically active through basic sports, which can be just the thing for the athletes, but why don’t you consider students who do not become professional athletes? The NCAA posted data on the possibility of an increased school athlete playing attending college and ultimately going pro. Comparing men’s and women’s basketball, baseball, men’s soccer, football, and men’s ice hockey, the data shows that the easiest sport to turn pro in is baseball. For baseball, approximately 0.44% or 1 out of every 225 high school graduation participants reach the professional ranks. Since that number is so low, how come physical educators continuing to instruct these sports? There is a small future because of these sports along the obesity academic is increasing at a fast pace.

Elementary physics. ed . should be focused on learning the fundamental fundamentals of every sport to assist the youngsters to develop physically. There are many youth leagues for children to buy and remain active with age. You always see many children involved with sports in youth leagues, nevertheless, the number dwindles immensely as they age. We need to stop teaching traditional sports in secondary education and still provide the students with knowledge of lifetime fitness and health to be healthy. There are minimal numbers of adult leagues for sports, so teaching towards the small percentage of athletes is not going to help you in America using the obesity epidemic. Physical education in secondary …
