RE: School and the Poisonous Socialization
Well, there are still more.. we agree to meet at the coffee shop after the graduation but when we get there everyone busy with themselves and their smartphone. In my country, students can text message to the teacher to submit the homework by email or whatsapp, they even killed a teacher because got them grounded for disturbing other students. Who to blame?
Yes, some classrooms here have smartboards and there are teachers who use technology more than others with the email and texting, etc.
Too much violence with school shootings--of teachers &/or other students. I don't know who is to blame? I do know it is tough being a teacher and that whether we like it or not, we are socializing the students--sometimes in good ways and sometimes in bad and our beliefs surrounding these ways can change over time when we realize the outcomes were different than the hypothesis.
We can't blame the technology either.. but I think the poisonous socialization and society apriory play a big roles in this probs (cmiiw). My friend is collecting donation on facebook to renovate a school in remote area, pay the teachers in minimum wage and send children on school age from poor family to school and provide scholarship from donation too, meanwhile other students spent their time in illegal motobike race. It's not fair... but many television dramas show this kind of life everyday.
