Legal and Ethical Implications for Classroom Management

Introduction

Teachers and students have a unique relationship. Teachers serve as a role model, yet there exists feeling of conflict among teachers and students. There are times where the school becomes a battlefield for both teachers and students, where they stick to their ideas and viewpoint. These resistances become a cause of a rift between both teachers and students. The rift in the relationship is not necessary present, but it occurs due to some moving instances that affect both teachers and students. One of the notions that become the most prominent reason is discipline or conduct. To induce learning environment, teachers use different disciplinary procedures in the classroom. The results of several studies related to disciplinary procedure suggest that teachers should be focusing g on influencing the life of student in a positive manner, rather than focusing on disciplining the child.

Societal violence is the most commonly discussed the issue of today's society. The notion has sought the attention of people belonging from different classes, societies and scholars, globally. The excessive increase in the exposure of violence to children has a negative impact on children's mind. The new generation has more violent and aggressive behavior towards their parents, teachers, siblings and friends. This aggressive behavior is strongly damaging the atmosphere in a school setting. This violent action has raised the importance of legal and Ethical implication in classroom. In a school setting, the performance of teacher has a decisive role in setting the mood and temperament of the classroom. In creating the learning environment, teacher must consider the legal and ethical implications.

Depending on the quality time parents intend to spend with their children, helped them in becoming a productive part of the nation. These articles include the issue of racism, plagiarism, bullying in the classroom, and counseling of suicidal students. Though counseling of suicidal students was taken as exception, but these students needs immense attentions. The global environment has made drastic impact on the mind of students and the exposure through various forms of media is resulting in reducing the tolerance level of children.
