PROBLEM KID PROBLEM-SOLVER TIPInnovation and school reform are critical components for schools when strategizing how to win the race to the top. One area that should be addressed any time school reform is considered, is violence. It's on the rise, and schools continue to use yesterday's methods to solve today's school violence concerns. That's a huge problem with potentially huge consequences. Here are some innovative school reform ideas that address school violence in an innovative, pro-active way.
Youth
violence may now be at an historic worst in the U.S. Do you realize that
school shootings are becoming such a common occurrence that some of them only
receive local media coverage? That means that you may not even be aware
how much school shootings continue to happen on a regular basis during the school year.
Here's an even more upsetting fact that you
may not have considered. Many of the conventional methods of teaching violence prevention
are utterly ineffective with conduct disorders, the most misbehaved youngster.
So, as children and youth become more violent, the methods we tend to use to curtail that violence
are approaches that won't work with conduct disorders, the most misbehaved youngsters. Here is the
explanation. The most violent students of all, conduct disorders, lack a conscience. That means that they
have no relationship capacity, and are especially unable to feel empathy and compassion. Popular
violence prevention methods like character education use one core approach, caring about others.
It's like teaching a tone deaf person to sing. You can try but it may not be that person's
strong suit-- ever. You can attempt to make conduct disorders care about others so they
won't hurt others, but it's a tune they will never be able to sing. If you lack relationship
capacity, you can never care about others. Therefore, caring about others will never be the way
to assist conduct disorders to rein in their interpersonal aggression. It's actually ironic.
The youngster who needs to most benefit from violence prevention training, is the most
unaffected by it. Sadly, violence prevention training that relies on empathy, actually
can prompt conduct disorders to behave worse. Relationship-based violence prevention methods
often inadvertently teach the conduct disorder to be a more effective victimizer. That is why
school reform efforts have to include a "real-world" plan for improving violence prevention.
