Abstract In this paper, children attending a Primary School in St James, Trinidad were studied to investigate their thoughts on the act of bullying. The occurrence of bullying in primary schools, generally, is becoming more prominent. Questionnaires were shared out to children, between the ages of nine and eleven, of the primary school to collect data and to understand their thinking. It was concluded that the children think there should be severe consequences for engaging in the act of bullying
Typically, young children especially those in primary schools simply do not learn what they are taught unless there is reinforcement. Assessment is used by educators so often to link their teaching to students’ learning (William, 2013). However, if it is done without any sort of feedback, it might not be useful at all. Teachers assess with the purpose of acknowledging strengths and weaknesses in a child in order to formally or informally instruct the child making room for improvement (Mikre, 2010)
disciplinary measure in primary schools. Teachers need an alternative for disciplinary measures in primary schools. Students in primary schools all over the world are getting suspended as a discipline for non-disciplinary reasons. These reasons for suspension can explain a lack of understanding future work and assignments because students and parents are not able to control the amount they get done at home. Teachers and students have noticed that suspension gives students a break from school rather than displaying

As this is something they pride themselves on, they also take great care in catering for the individual needs of every student. The document discussed later on in this essay, outlines a student engagement and inclusion policy. Written for parents by the school, the policy informs the audience of school values, purpose, goals and beliefs about student

With this in mind the advantages of using tablets in primary schools will now be addressed. Through various studies done, it was found that students learn more of the content at a faster pace. Teaching with technology causes a reduction rate in the time it takes for them to reach a learning objective by thirty
There are many different roles and purposes of these roles within schools. When it comes to school governors it can be said that they have a number of duties within the school they are attached to. This ultimately is ensuring the school upholds a high standard of academic achievement. This can be done and filtered into many different duties which can include, setting various targets and improvements for the school, overseeing school finances, having a well balances and broad curriculum, the hiring
Bring Your Own Device(BYOD) in Primary (Elementary) Schools”, Karen J. Mc Lean explains the implementation of BYOD in elementary schools and how this openness to technology in schools has brought about a change in the way that use the technology in the primary schools. “The introduction of mobile devices in schools has been met with approval from the education establishment” (McLean). Currently the use of technology has revolutionized education, for that reason schools have begun to look for more accessible
mainstream Local Authority run Primary Schools. Behaviour management is a contested and enduring issue in British schools that is framed by a shift in professional and theoretical discourse (MacLure et al. , 2012). Vygotsky (1987) theory proposed that teachers and pupils need to develop affective, social and cognitive behaviour in order to create an effective learning environment. Likewise, Bronfenbrenner `s theory of ecological systems supports the view that school context as a microsystem consisting
Bullying has become a serious problem for many children in primary school. This cycle of violence is breakable once the issues are properly identified, but there is a lot more to it than just stopping the bully. “We need to examine why and how a child becomes a bully or a target of a bully…Bullying is a learned behaviour. If it can be learned, then it can be evaluated, and then changed.” (Coloroso, 2003) My aim is to find out how safe primary school learners feel, the effects and role each person has on
Protagonist). I went through primary school, made friends, played sport and the rest, the typical lifestyle of a kid my age. Life back then was worry free; I can definitely relate to Tom Brennan when he describes his juvenile self as a “happy, free, no fuss type of bloke” (P.76). As I transitioned into high-school it was much the same process, making friends, continuing sport and getting on with work. However, in saying that, high school was vastly different to my primary schooling and I was forced
small detail of what happened, and the aftermath of the Sandy Hook School Shooting. 20-year-old Adam Lanza lived with his 52-year-old mother, Nancy Lanza until December 14, 2012, when he broke into a school and killed 26 people. At a young age, Lanza was seen as happy, and smiling all the time, and he would partake in school activities. “In the years leading up to the December 2012 massacre at Connecticut’s Sandy Hook Elementary School, Adam Lanza went from a merely shy pre-teen to a mentally ill recluse
wanted from Santa when I was 7. At first, my mother asked me what present what I wanted, and I answered “A big teddy bear.” When I went to the church on Christmas, there was a big teddy bear that I had wanted for a long time. Until I became a middle school student, my mom and Santa “kept in touch” with each other so they could give me some presents that I wanted every year. #2. What was your worst moment growing up? When I was 10, I told my dad that I was going to hang out with my friends. He misunderstood
Students may often be accepted into a school based on their religious upbringing, their connection to passed pupils and their English fluency level. Immediately migrant students are put at a disadvantage as most likely they have no connection to passed pupils, their English may not be exceptional

On February 14, 2018, a mass shooting occurred in Parkland Florida. The shooter, Nicholas Cruz, opened fire on Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. Seventeen innocent students were shot and killed, while 17 others were injured. In my first article, Parkland Gunman Was Still Firing When Police Arrived on a Gruesome Scene by Patricia Mazzei, we learn that Cruz had not ceased fire even after police had arrived. When police arrived at the scene of the Parkland shooting, the gunman was still firing
Good writing stems from a strong foundation of reading skills. I remember sitting in the library of Griswold Elementary School listening to the librarian Mrs. Church telling us how if we are good readers we are good writers. As the group of eager little children that we were, writing was something that we loved to do and participated in often, so a chance of becoming better at it just made us want to read more. In this same library, the PTO held the annual Scholastic Book Fair, this event allowed
Did you ever struggle with reading at a young age? Were you ever pulled out of class in elementary school for reading assistants? Some of us aren’t good at some subjects such as mathematics, social studies, writing, or science, but mine was reading. While in elementary, I could get the help I needed so that I no longer had an issue with reading. Without the help of my teacher who pulled me out of class to give me more one on one help, I would still be struggling today with reading/literacy. My main
