Meditation instead of a detention- How misbehaved or disrupting kids are handled in Robert W. Coleman Elementary school
We are all familiar with that creepy room where disruptive children are sent where they have the chance to reconsider and reflect on everything bad they have done. However, people attending even one day in the detention room will confess that they reflect on nothing, but trying to get out of there or talking to another detention mate without being caught. So, long story short, children sent on detention don’t learn a valuable lesson about well-behaving and prospects in life.
But, what if we told you that some schools have a different approach towards disrupting and misbehaving children- mediation. This may come as a shocker, but what it’s actually even more shocking are the results from this approach. When old-fashioned is clearly giving us almost no results, with mediation we may be on to something. Needless to mention the benefits from meditation, this school proves that hours spent in detention can be beneficial …show more content…

For the purpose of this project I will be looking at some of the influences that can impact on children’s social and emotional development as they move through childhood. These can often have a great impact on a child’s learning and ability to make successful transitions at key points in their lives.

    In psychiatric wards specifically, the use of seclusion is used to confine and restrict movement in disruptive-behaving children. Although this mechanism is supposed to promote behavioral change and correct disruptive behavior, it actually tends to spark newly manifested behavior, especially aggression. Essentially the question that is raised investigates what takes place in the use of seclusion and restraint to spark these developed behaviors and what could be changed about the processes to avoid it. To understand this question, many topics need to be understood to form an argument.

  • Disproportionality In Special Education

    1604 Words  | 7 Pages

    Disproportionality refers to the overrepresentation or underrepresentation of particular demographic groups in comparison to the overall student population. Disproportionate representation of ethnically diverse students in special education and disciplinary action (office referrals, suspensions, and expulsions) has been an epidemic in the school system for the past forty years (Walker & Gresham, 2014). This disproportionality occurs at every level of education, elementary to high school, and every level of disciplinary action (Walker & Gresham, 2014). Research has found evidence that suggests a student’s ethnicity can significantly influence the likelihood of diagnostic identification, as well as disciplinary action (Walker & Gresham, 2014).

    Often students do not know how to reach out, who to talk to or how to respond to a conflict. For this reason conflicts escalate, even though there are people who are able to train teachers and peers to handle such conflict in healthy way. The traditional school conflict resolution method, where adult decides the outcome for the student is becoming inefficient, so peer mediation provides the student with an opportunity to talk it out and resolve the conflict they. The students see the value n the program, they want to learn how to act when in conflict, beside just with anger and save valuable relationships. This peer mediation program would be effective by reducing violence and fights.

(APA Task Force, 2008; Gregory & Cornell, 2009). But in fact it has been established that non-attendance due to the punishments listed above can lead to negative child well-being outcomes such as; poor academic performance, low school attachments, delinquency, drug use, sexual promiscuity, and eventual school dropout which ultimately does not promote a safe and welcoming classroom experience for all children (Sutphen, R., D., Ford, J., P., Flaherty, C.,

    Overall, I recognized that mediation is a much better choice than adjudication (Bishop, p. 38). Mediation not only restores relationships but it settles disputes and facilitates understanding, learning and growth (Bishop, p. 6). Additionally, the in class mediation made me realize that mediation is not linear. In a mediation, the mediator has to constantly adapt in order to move the parties closer to a solution. Furthermore, through the four in class mediations I realized that mediation could be applied to a wide variety of scenarios.

The institution has 500 students aged 11-13 and in 2007 a meditation programme called Quiet Time was developed with impressive results that led to more schools in San Francisco introducing the programme. Barry O’Driscoll, the physical education teacher said students lived in a violent community and that The Visitacion Valley middle school was one of the San Francisco's toughest institution.

However, if the tried interventions are not working, teachers have a right, under the state’s “Safe Schools Against Violence in Education (SAVE) law to have a disruptive student removed for a single period, a single day or up to four days (Chancellor’s Regulation A-443) which is found in the “Student Disciplinary Procedures” manual given to parents, children and staff at the start of a school year.
