How to handle students who violate the law in school?

The school has a great law that can change the child's behavior, not just control the child, and that is the Law of the Heart.

In previous centuries, when a woman got pregnant without a husband, the whole world would condemn her. In some places, people stoned both mother and child to death. In our country, they shaved her head, smeared it with lime, and paraded her around the village to shame her.

Because of these terrible regulations, such situations have been somewhat limited from happening. However, that is a story of the past.

Nowadays, women who have children without a husband are called “single mothers”. To some extent, they receive sympathetic looks or admiration for their resilience because they dare to live independently and overcome prejudice. If someone curses them, people will see them as old-fashioned or harsh and selfish.

Thus, it can be seen that the behaviors, rules, and regulations on ethical categories have changed to adapt to the new and it is full of humanity, truly human.

However, in schools today, there are still new rules and regulations written based on criteria from the last century. This morning, when I passed a school and heard the decision to discipline students, I saw that they had carefully researched and added dozens of "bases" to the decision. According to the law, they have the right to make a student who uses violence against his friends or is lazy or skips school stand under the flag in front of thousands of people. However, this way of doing things makes me and many other teachers shudder with fear.

Why are people so cruel to each other? It is because they have learned that cruelty from their family, society, friends and maybe even from their teachers. Does the way we discipline students in front of the flag make the children more obedient? If it was 50 years ago, I think the child would become more stubborn, but the children who witnessed it might be afraid and more obedient.

And now? Neither the children who were disciplined nor the children who witnessed it became any better. They would feel that their school was unsafe. Their teachers were police officers and the school was like a prison because they were forced to go there every day.

Every day in hundreds of thousands of schools, many children are disciplined with punishments from the last century that science has proven to be pedagogically wrong. I think that changing education requires a synchronous change in the way we evaluate achievements, accomplishments as well as mistakes. The way we handle mistakes must be oriented towards correcting behavior rather than punishing. If we “discharge” into society the “products” of our incompetence, then where will the child be suitable?

I dream that there is someone with enough authority to hold the scales, review all the regulations on handling students in schools with a strong pedagogical nature. Obviously, the school has a great law that can change the behavior of the child, not just control the child, that is the LAW OF THE HEART!
