In many schools
the learners do as they please, because they know that they have more power
than the teachers as the law is by their side. The learners mis-use their
rights in a way that it always benefit them whatever situation they face at
school. Which means the teachers are not really protected by the law like
learners are protected. This becomes a big problem, because the learners feel they
are more superior than the teachers and will forever look down on them going
forward.
The school
environment has became a playground for learners to do whatever they want and
get away with it. The learners carry guns and knifes whereby they shoot or stab
their fellow school mates and their teachers or just cause critical injuries. While
other learners smoke weed, cigarettes and other drugs at school, hence their
brains become disrupted and they do a lot of things that they will later on
regret. Some learners fight with their school mates or their teachers at
school. A lot of learners and teachers have lost their lives at schools, where
they suppose to educated or educate, and enjoy their jobs and build better lives.
Nowadays schools have turned into a terrible environment with a lot of chaos and
drama taking place within it. Many teachers, and learners fear for their lives every
time they enter the school’s premises, and they always hope and pray that
nothing bad happens to them. It is a sad truth that the government is also to
blame for such violent learners at schools, because of banning of corporal
punishment. In households the children become parents and parents become
children, that is how our societies have became ever since the government gave
the children more rights. Many parents cannot even discipline their children,
because if they do they will be arrested as long as their children open a case
against them. The parents are suppose to be the first teachers in the
children’s lives before even sending their child to school. If learners are so
corrupt how are the teachers going to help build future leaders of our country
and if this keeps on happening there will be hardly any hope of our country
having highly educated and successful human beings.
