In many countries schools have severe problems with student behaviour. What do you think are the causes of this? What solutions can you suggest?

Nowadays, schools in various parts of the world report that students tend to have behavioural problems. Unfortunately,
this
will make it harder for schools to educate students as problematic behaviours are likely to interfere with the education process. There are some reasons as to why students behave inappropriately.
Firstly
, the way society works these days affect students’ behavioural patterns.
For instance
, parents might spend more time at work than at home and
as a result
, children lack parental guidance, not knowing how they are supposed to behave.
This
, in turn, is likely to cause them to have behavioural problems.
Secondly
,
such
behaviours might be caused by external influences,
such
as the internet and television. Students,
for example
, might watch TV shows that use a lot of violence.
Therefore
, they are likely to imitate in real life by being more aggressive and using more violence. After all, students, especially teenagers, are easily affected by external parties. In order to counter
such
problem, teachers should be friendly while still maintaining their professionalism. By being friendly, teachers might be able to understand the students’ point of views and
thus
devise the right strategies to connect with them.
This
is because students are more likely to listen to teachers if they feel they can relate to the teachers and that the teachers understand them.
Furthermore
, it is
also
important to handle students patiently.
This
is really crucial since rough treatments might worsen their behaviours or encourage them to play truant. It is,
therefore
, wiser to be patient and guide students gradually to be well-behaved rather than using force to do so. In conclusion, behavioural problems result from the way society works these days (e.g. Lack of parental guidance) and external parties,
such
as bad influences from TV shows.
Nevertheless
, by understanding the students’ views and guiding them patiently, students can gradually change and behave in a more appropriate manner.

Include an introduction and conclusion

A conclusion is essential for IELTS writing task 2. It is more important than most people realise. You will be penalised for missing a conclusion in your IELTS essay.

The easiest paragraph to write in an essay is the conclusion paragraph. This is because the paragraph mostly contains information that has already been presented in the essay – it is just the repetition of some information written in the introduction paragraph and supporting paragraphs.

The conclusion paragraph only has 3 sentences:

  • Summary
  • Restatement of thesis
  • Prediction or recommendation

Example:

To summarize, a robotic teacher does not have the necessary disciple to properly give instructions to students and actually works to retard the ability of a student to comprehend new lessons. Therefore, it is clear that the idea of running a classroom completely by a machine cannot be supported. After thorough analysis on this subject, it is predicted that the adverse effects of the debate over technology-driven teaching will always be greater than the positive effects, and because of this, classroom teachers will never be substituted for technology.

Start your conclusion with a linking phrase. Here are some examples:

  • In conclusion
  • To conclude
  • To summarize
  • Finally
  • In a nutshell
  • In general
