Students’ Behaviors and Attitudes

SLP1: Executive Summary

There have been increasing numbers of reported cases in which students have behaved aggressively towards their colleagues, and the data concerning unruly student behaviors has also been on the rise (Coll et al., 2018). The unruly student behavior has to be fixed because it is among the biggest factors that contribute to school drop outs and poor performance. Students have been reporting to the administration that they have been bullied by their colleagues, dispossessed of their properties, beaten or abused. Although these behaviors can be linked to anomalous adolescent conduct, there are also a number of possibilities that can induce aggressive behaviors in K-12 students. They include: negative attitude towards education, drug abuse, bad influence from adults, poor parental upbringing, or negative early life experiences (Dariotis et al., 2016). Therefore, it is necessary to introduce programs and lessons that can solve the issue of student misconduct and negative attitude towards education so as to improve the quality of education in K-12 schools.

In order to solve the issue of unruly student behavior and negative attitude towards education, guidance and counseling programs will be introduced in schools. Guidance and counseling will be necessary for all students, but those who exhibit unruly behaviors will undergo more counseling sessions that the rest of the students. The program is aimed at reducing stress, depression, and anxiety, which are the biggest contributing factors to student unruly and antisocial behaviors (Coll et al., 2018). Other mental health programs such as yoga will be introduced in order to improve the mental and emotional health of the students, which will boost their motivation so that they will like school and appreciate education. A research and an experimental program will have to be done in a few classes to evaluate the effectiveness of the programs before their full implementation. Main stakeholders in the education sector will also be consulted so as to incorporate their views.
