The article is headlined "Parents defend school's hands-behind-back walking policy". It is written by Sally Weale and published on 5 November, 2015 in "The guardian" (http://www.theguardian.com/education/2015/nov/05/parents-defend-schools-hands-behind-back-walking-policy)
The author of the artical tells as about the parents' attitude to the new measure introduced in one of the primary schools in central London. The measure was to make the children walk around corridors with their hands clasped behind their backs. The opinions of the parents were sharply polarized.
Some of the parents described the new measure as "dictatorial" and others found it helpful in reinforcing good behavior . The first group of parents insisted that the schools was losing its identity. While others didn't see any problem with it. So there was a mixture of views from the parents and carers. But still they came to the conclusion that children should learn how to conduct themselves appropriately and we want them to develop pride and good judgment of what is acceptable behavior.
In my opinion children shouldn't walk with their hands clasped behind their backs, because it abuses them and violates their rights.
And whose opinion do you share?

I share the opinion of the first group of parents. I’m totally against ‘university walk’.
ОтветитьУдалитьOf course, schools must send a strong message to students that there must be order and respect in the halls and the classroom. Nevertheless, this method is simply not appropriate in England in the 21st century. I believe that it infringes the rights of children. They go to school to learn, communicate and interact with other pupils. Kids need encouragement to be themselves, and to harness their natural curiosity, and energy. This kind of diktat for children seems to express an attitude of wanting to suppress, and control children, rather than to want to educate, stimulate, and inspire them.
If I saw my child's school starting to enforce policies like this I'd be extremely concerned.
I agree that this measure is dictatorial. I think that there are many other ways of maintenance of discipline. Without good discipline it is impossible to achieve excellent knowledge from pupils. But such measure doesn't give children to develop. They need to communicate and interact with other children for normal and full development. It is necessary to create conditions for development positive habits, to block emergence of the negative. However, it doesn't mean that it is necessary to control pupils all the time. When they are brought up in many instances, when they are often reminded about the slightest offences, it doesn't promote observance of rules of behaviour by them, and induces to thought that they are”Incorrigible”. Besides this measure looks like as though for the prison.
ОтветитьУдалитьI couldn't even imagine that such things exist in the world nowadays. It's unacceptable for the 21st century. The children are deprived of their rights and they lose their personal freedoms. I can say, it looks like a prison. The headteachers should find another way to teach pupils to maintain discipline and to strengthen their safety. Children have a lot of energy and need for communication. Finally, because of the rules they will not be happy. They are not used to such rules.
ОтветитьУдалитьI am against "hands-behind-back walking policy".I think it's bad for psychological condition- to make the children walk around corridors with their hands clasped behind their backs.There are many other ways to teach about good behavior and the correct manner.
