9th Graders Isolation

Isolation Is the Worst Possible Counselor

What might happen when a group of individuals is withdrawn from their daily lives and thrown onto a desert island for six months? What might happen if they are merely fourteen to fifteen years old? Many schools across the nation consider the construction of a new program that separates ninth graders from the rest of the high school community to settle behavior problems. This method could be argued as unnecessary and counterproductive. Transitioning from middle to high school, some ninth graders may appear problematic as they struggle to adjust, but separating them for one grade level will not make any significant difference, because tenth grade eventually arrives.

  • Nonviolent Crisis Intervention Report

    144 Words  | 1 Pages

    Started the new school year at Triton this fall and I am amazed by the staff and specialists that we have for the children to reach their needs and goals. We have teachers, paraeducators, behaviorists, speech therapists, and occupational therapists. They are all here working together as a team to help these young individuals succeed. Most of the individuals didn’t make it in a traditional school setting because they escape school, get suspended, having erratic behaviors that most teachers can get physically hurt if they are not properly trained. The Ventura County Office of Education provides training and refreshers for CPI training for Nonviolent Crisis Intervention.

    158 Words  | 1 Pages

    Connecticut Zero tolerance policies in Connecticut’s schools were contributing to high rates of School arrest and expulsion, particularly for youth with behavioral and mental health needs. In response, the state created the School-Based Diversion Initiative (SBDI) which uses mental health responders (provided by Emergency Mobile Psychiatric Service[EMPS] units) to respond to school-based incidents involving youth with mental health needs as an alternative to contacting the police or referring to juvenile court. The program is designed to reduce the number of school arrests, suspensions and expulsions by linking youth with mental health needs who are at risk of juvenile system involvement with appropriate community based services and supports.

  • Cross Keys Home Observation

    “Darn, surrounded by all of these nice homes and communities, this High School should be really nice,” is what I thought once I got to the North Druid Hills Rd and North Cliff Valley Way intersection. In front of me all that I could see was vibrant communities that displayed their affiliation with the Lenox area, which is a very rich area. Making a left onto North Druid Hills Road, I continued to see beautiful homes on my right and my left I began to see the campus of Cross Keys High School. Due to the tons of leaves that had fallen, the bare trees that occupied the front of the campus, and the splotchy patches of grass, viewing the Cross Keys campus was not as striking to the eye as was the view of the surrounding homes. Having such a bare

  • The Body Of Christopher Creed Analysis

    815 Words  | 4 Pages

    High School. The epitome of how poorly someone can be treated based on what they like, or what they wear, or say and do. The doors you walk through each day are the entrance to the jungle; it seems harmless at first, but as soon as you enter you are stalked and watched by the predators. Any high school looks great to an outsider, but deep down they all consist of a ludicrous social hierarchy. In The Body of Christopher Creed by Carol Plum-Ucci, Victor “Torey” Adams experiences these things first hand after he pulls away from the scum he once knew and loved, those who contributed to Christopher Creed’s disappearance.

    “ There are many of these examples depicted online, and while some may find them “stupid” or “whiny” you must take the time to consider that just like a physical illness, a mental illness is serious. This is why, in high schools and middle schools where we don’t have counselors available for children and teenagers who most obviously need help, the problem could evolve into one of much more severity. An example of this could be a child who has separated parents, but a great school life. Said child is popular at school, but one day a classmate notices that whenever the two have playdates, they almost always go to one of two different houses, and now they’ve singled out a child who is different. Now, because of his parent’s separation, he is distanced from both his peers and teachers, and now his grades began to plummet.

    Immigration and segregation, could the effects be salvage in order to attain civic equality I have always thought that every individual has the right to education and to be treated with respect despite race, gender, or religious belief, but as times goes by and we dig deeper into the history of the United States, we come to realize that these rights have never been met for every citizen of this country. In fact, at the beginning of the 20th century, when the United States “rose as a world power and an industrial giant”, its domestic social policy was known to be oppressive and anti-democratic, especially towards minorities. Mexicans, whether born in the United States or in Mexico, were treated as “foreigners, aliens, or intruders”. These
