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

Poor student

behaviour

is a major problem faced by

schools

across the globe

world.

parents

and

teachers

should play a responsible role in tackling (handling, solving, dealing with)

this

problem effectively.

Parents

today have too many responsibilities, other than (apart from) looking after the affairs of their families, which has resulted in

children

getting less attention and care.

Parents

need to inculcate (

) good values in young

children

and discipline them at an early age, or else (if not) it would result in disruptive (unruly)

behaviour

at home and in school. In many instances,

children

are left alone in the company of television sets, computer screens and toys, and

consequently

, (as a consequence,

) they fail to develop (lack) interpersonal skills and human values, which they learn by interacting with their

parents

and siblings.  

Furthermore

,

parents

provide them with many material comforts, which can sometimes (may) make them selfish and greedy.

Children

who come from

such

family backgrounds (would) often create many

problems

for

teachers

and their schoolmates.

Parents

should never shy away from (shirk their responsibility of) spending quality time with their

children

on a regular basis, which would help them to monitor their

children

’s

behaviour

and give suitable advice whenever there is a need. Another reason for problematic

behaviour

among

children

is that

teachers

lack effective training in dealing with

children

who have various behavioural and psychological inadequacies (

problems

).

Children

their frustration, often create

problems

in

schools

, which can only be tackled by trained

teachers

or counsellors. Many

teachers

become defensive and show little tact when

children

show

such

behavioural abnormalities. Erratic handling of

such

problems

can result in (lead to) aggravating the issue. I believe that

this

problem can be effectively addressed if

parents

and

teachers

are trained in scientific ways of dealing with

children

.

Schools

should appoint specially trained counsellors, who can assist

teachers

in dealing with problematic

children

. As mentioned above, both

parents

and

teachers

have a crucial role to play in normalising the

behaviour

of

children

in

schools

. Scientific ways of handling

children

with troublesome

behaviour

can go a long way in dealing with them efficiently.
