WILL PUNISHING BULLIES HELP?

Great day everyone! I am here today to talk about the educational adjustments that must be made in order to
provide a secure and healthy environment for children to develop and learn.

A school is a place where a wide variety of young people come together to socialize and share ideas, and
bullying is a problem so pervasive in schools that kids often pick up the wrong behaviors or are the victims
themselves, which will have a very negative impact on their overall development and may even be harmful to
their future endeavors.

Bullying is a terrible problem that must be eradicated from schools. The act of bullying grows and thrives on the
students' fears and anxieties, and it goes both ways. When a student starts bullying other students, it has an
impact on their own development as well as the lives of the learners around them. If this behavioral pattern is
not addressed at the appropriate age, it becomes challenging for these kids to operate as adults. A bully
always seeks affirmation and appreciation in the things that they are doing, and when people fail to do this,
they have their outbursts.

On the other hand, bullied individuals may experience lifelong issues as a result of the abuse they endured;
some of these individuals may even develop severe mental conditions that frequently result in suicide. Major
public forums should address the issue of bullying to raise awareness of the need to end bullying.

It's critical to comprehend the underlying causes of bullying if you want to put an end to it. When children are
indoctrinated with a sense of difference at a young age, a problem is formed. Although it will assist,
punishment for bullying won't put an end to it. It is crucial that the children are taught the concept of respect,
kindness, and empathy immediately at home in order to prevent incidents like these from happening again.

Children learn a lot from their parents or guardians, thus it's crucial for them to exhibit these traits themselves
to ensure that their children will pick it up and behave appropriately in social situations. Additionally, it's crucial
to make students take responsibility for their wrongdoings, teach them the value of saying sorry, and teach
them to take the other person's feelings into consideration. I'd like to offer as a conclusion that while
punishment can aid in reducing bullying, it won't guarantee its eradication.

To prevent problems like bullying from getting worse, they should be handled from the ground up. Bullies need
to be disciplined, but they also need to be informed that there are other options besides bullying. In such
situations, it's critical that the child get a second chance.
DO EXAM RESULTS ALONE DETERMINE A STUDENT’S WORTH?

We still engage in an old belief that has become rather normalized over time: discrimination against students
based on their academic performance. We frequently witness parents, even teachers, criticising and
demeaning kids for their average or low performance. If we are still inclined to place a child's value on a piece
of paper, the pressing question is: What is the underlying reason that this traditional thinking is still common
among us even in the twenty-first century?

The distinctive elements of our educational system, particularly the one used in our Philippine society, are
unquestionably one of the primary core causes. Instead of evaluating a child on their ability to practically apply
the lessons they have learned in school and college to their everyday situations, our educational system
constantly encourages and conditions the society to evaluate a child on how well they can pour the information
they have learned onto a piece of paper. Students study for the sake of getting good grades instead of learning
for the future because of this unreasonable focus that is traditionally thrust upon them.

Additionally, because of how our culture disregards the numerous interests, skills, and aspirations that children
have that are unrelated to their academic pursuits, they experience an invisible pressure and tension that
prevents them, for the most part, from ever bothering to enjoy their education. This teaches students—at least
the majority of them—that school is the sole path to success and that anything else is never worthwhile of their
time and effort. This leaves a lot of potential and talents unmet.

These children have the worst moments of anxiety, clinical depression, and even suicidal thoughts due to the
consequences they suffer when they are discriminated against because of their poor academic
performance. It's time, in my opinion, that we as a society ask ourselves a very critical question: What can we
do to stop this from happening?

First, attempt to comprehend that no cognitive test, no matter how good, can ever predict a child's future
success. Instead of preparing the children for a standardized test, prepare them for the horrific world that is
waiting for them at their doorway. The majority of these children committed suicide, either because of fear of
their test results or because they had lost sight of some academic objective, according to an analysis of the
current situation. I think we can prevent this by reassuring them that no entrance test will ever be able to gauge
how successful their lives are.

Make sure they understand that pursuing their aspirations relentlessly, no matter what they may be, is more
important than always having academic objectives. In order to make them stand out, teach them to be kind,
caring, tenacious, passionate, focused, and self-assured in all aspects of their lives. In this world, there are
plenty of physicians and engineers; we only lack humans. Teach them to be the best among them. Last but not
least, tell them that it is acceptable to fail, fall, falter, but never acceptable to give up.
