Layal Jarrah:Unfair Punishment

Name: Layal Jarrah Your teacher punishes the whole class because one student misbehaved. How do you feel about this? Think about reasons you feel this way. Unfair Punishment Will Durant said ," Education is a progressive discovery of our ignorance. "The attitude of a student differs from one to another; therefore ,it’s unfair that the whole class will be treated the same. As such, it will drastically reflect on the well –behaved students for several reasons .First and foremost , highly –mannered students will turn into ill-mannered ones when they feel that they are unfairly treated; the attitude of the well -behaved students will be influenced by the unfairness of the teacher. The whole class will be considered as a misbehaved one, so the class reputation will be jeopardized in the whole university; therefore, the grades of the whole class will be noticeably low whenever the teacher is treating his/her students unjustly. For instance, a study conducted in 2013 has indicated that the students who get exposed to verbal and unfair treatment will encounter prospective problems which will cause them major damages. Another study has revealed that the students who are subjects for discrimination will tend to be discriminatory people later on. Trouble making students shouldn’t be addressed on the same grounds of the behaved ones. Students' issues can’t be weighed on tantamount basis ; therefore ,professional teacher should always differentiate between the behaved students and misbehaved ones. For example, students' characters determine people's responses and reactions towards them, and this has been clearly shown in many recent studies. Another important example is my friend who has lost interest in school after being mistreated by his teacher. In conclusion, misbehaved students should be exposed to disciplinary procedures in order to be an example to others. More importantly, who can say that punishment should be a means to an end? Who can say that punishment is the only remedy to a disciplinary problem.
