In today's schools there is so much violence. There is bullying and gangs and just plain mean kids. Kids that are considered uncool are beat up either physically or emotionally. And the only thing that happens to the bully is at worst suspended from school.
I do not like the way that kids are treated by other kids because of the way they look, the way they dress, or because they are smart. After observing in a school this semester I saw exactly how kids were treated. And let me just tell you that kids are MEAN!!! They do not care who they hurt as long as they get what they want. And it always amazes me that some teachers sit back and pretend that it never even happened. So the bully keeps on because he/she knows that nothing will happen.
As a future teacher I think that it is time to stand up for the kids who can't stand up for themselves. The kids who are constantly picked on and the kids who are always made fun of. These are the kids who hate going to school and have an awful school experience. This has to change. Every child should feel safe at school!
