Why Student Misbehave

849 Words4 Pages

As we can see, there are many factors that contribute to the deterioration of attitude and behaviour of university students nowadays. Students who misbehave in classrooms will impact the learning environment and also distract other students from paying attention in class. Therefore, necessary actions and measures must be taken to curb the misbehaviour of students before this issue reaches an alarming state. As the saying goes, it is better to prevent a problem rather than curing it. Based on the interview conducted in the Management and Science University (MSU) campus, the respondents have made suggestions on the several methods that can be used to reduce the misbehaviour of university students. Since peer pressure is one of the main reasons that lead a student to misbehave, one of the respondents has mentioned that a student needs to have the ability in making decisions and choosing the right friends.

Impersonal punishment given to students enforces the power and presence of the university’s authority figures. However, these punishments do not contribute much in terms of helping the student to figure out the reason that caused their misbehaviour.

  • Summary Of Hidden Intellectualism By Gerald Graff

    Students desire to stay up to par with their peers, whether that be socially or in this case, on the academic level. When one individual falls behind, there’s pressure on him or her to pick himself/herself up. At the same time, parents often stress the importance of the student’s grades along with the implications of the student’s future, such as entering a good college or landing a high-paying job. Moreover, the student’s own pride and personal aspirations are put on the line. Therefore, because society applies pressure on the student to perform well in school to admit himself/herself into a prestigious college or acquire a luxurious job, students reevaluate themselves and realize the way to reach that kind of success is not through arguing well but through “a show of information or vast reading, by grade-grubbing, or other forms of one-upmanship.”

    The public school to prison pipeline was examined in the literature review through zero-tolerance policies and the effects it has played on graduation rates. Zero-tolerance policies have dramatically increased students being recommended to the court system according to the literature review. The literature review has shown a need for school districts to examine zero-tolerance policies and the negative effects that it has caused on students. Fran Silverman (2005) discusses students being punished under zero-tolerance and says, “The students were disciplined under their school’s zero tolerance policy and some advocates are saying these codes of conduct have become so strict that schools are turning into criminal justice systems, or worse, jailhouses” (pg. 54).
