School and Problem Students

Paper Summary:

This paper explains that, rather than arguing who is at fault for problems of youth, constructive solutions to address the inequalities of society must be enacted now to aid students experiencing difficulties. The author points out that poor behavior can be traced to young people who have lost their dreams for life after graduation. The paper states that schools must create a viable culture to outweigh negative influences by simultaneously validating the difficulties of students, yet offering them a comprehensive guidance, and by mentoring the network, which challenges their minds, yet provides them with concrete ways of resisting negative pressures.

From the Paper:

"This is not because their parents are bad parents, quite often it is because society has given little impetus to these children's parents to view education as a worthwhile investment of time and labor, as opposed to immediately remunerative jobs. Sometimes even this is not even the case, and parents find themselves caught in a cycle of welfare dependence, because the working world has similarly been discriminatory and unrewarding as was their own educational environment. Also, student's peers, even when students come from more supportive home environments, can also create a culture and climate both within and without of school walls that fosters as sense of disenfranchisement."
