Teachers VS Mental health
The article “ The Banking Concept of Education” speaks of an issue of how students and teachers need to play both roles. It is made out as if the teachers know everything and the students know nothing. In reality, we can all learn something from each other. In no means am I saying to let the students teach the class, but a single one of us doesn't know everything and it can be easy to think that you do when you have authority. Expanding our minds is one of the most powerful things that we can accomplish. Based on personal experience, it becomes easier to open the minds of students when we are able to all learn new things.
At my school, Midlands Middle College, there …show more content…

I have recently discovered that there is a teacher mental health crisis, ultimately causing teachers to quit their jobs. Starting when the pandemic hit, it was apparent that schools were unable to stay in session. The pandemic made it difficult for teachers to have their lesson plans, face to face contact with students and everything else that is necessary for a student to be successful, this was my case. I know that we are still feeling effects from the pandemic. There are still students in my school that wear masks, I've never seen their full face. The mental health crisis was not just felt in teachers. It was staff, students, parents as well as siblings and family members of students. The pandemic brought staff and students together. As much trouble as we had with it, I see that there are many students that are thriving and more respectful as a cause from this break that we had. Working together was the only way that we got through the pandemic.
In comparison to my last school, I see a clear line of where teachers stand, and where students stand. I don’t see where students work with teachers to solve problems, or vice versa. My current school also has a much higher success rate than my last , proving that this is effective. I don't believe that there was ever a time that I could ask a question at my old school without feeling completely uneducated after the teacher got done explaining the answer.

Her anxiety spiked, her heart thumped out of her chest and her left arm went numb. I’m having a heart attack, she thought. “ .. She was in fact not having a heart attack, but a panic attack. It is unclear what caused the panic attack other than emotions that took over her body. It is as if she was stressed out, but didn’t even realize it because she was so busy. After fourteen years, this teacher had to quit a job that she loved as she could no longer hold it together to teach. Mistakenly, the reason that she was having the panic attacks is because she was feeling this way, however she just blocked it out of her

I whole-heartedly agree with Moran when she states that, “the absence of trust impedes effectiveness and progress” (99). People need to be able to rely on one another and feel that what they are saying has value. Also, teachers want to know that administrators are going to put into place the steps in order to reach a goal if that is what they say they are going to do. Finally, parents and students need to have trust in the system which is often difficult when the system has failed them in the past. Therefore, establishing and maintaining this trust in each other is paramount to running a successful student-centered school.

Teacher shortages can significantly decrease student achievement (Carver-Thomas 1). When schools have teacher shortages, they are often forced to cancel courses because of the issues with staffing those classes (Carver-Thomas 1). These schools are being staffed with underprepared and underqualified teachers (Carver-Thomas 1). This causes staff instability in the schools, which then impedes students' ability to create a strong and trusting relationship with their teachers (Carver-Thomas 1). The students at Mississauga high school have experienced this firsthand

School shootings are something that happen rather often here in America, that most of us seem to be getting increasingly (and alarmingly) desensitized to; a simple Google search could tell one everything they need to know about the most recent shooting, which, at the time of writing, was at a Dickenson High School. The first thing someone should ask in this situation is ‘why, exactly, is this happening?’, and there are plenty of people who would be willing to give a different opinion to why this is happening. Whether someone believes it is the effects of lax gun control, or violent video games, or even poor mental health care, there is no denying that this is a recent phenomenon. Perhaps to trace to the root of the problem, one should look

In Paulo Freire’s “The ‘Banking’ Concept of Education” he outlines the inefficient and oppressive nature of modern education. Friere posits that modern education is of narrative manner, in that the teacher, or narrator, narrates to a listening person, the student. This flow of education is one way, from teacher to student. The teacher 's objective is to narrate to the student until the student is full of their information or put in terms of banking, deposit their knowledge in the bank, student.

Teachers, especially teachers who specialize in the arts, are now having difficulty finding jobs in their field because of the limited spots available. They are being forced to teach subjects that they are not familiar with just to find a job. School boards are also the ones who have to deal with budget cuts and decide what needs to be taken out of the

So with all these kids dying wouldn't you agree that we need better mental health support, so we can prevent all these shootings? I believe that if we had good and strong mental health support services in the USA then tragic events like Columbine H.S. & Sandy Hook would probably never happen. That is why I am supporting for the USA to talk more about how to create more mental health support programs to help prevent gun violence events.

According to LA Times, “at least 59% of the 185 public mass shootings that took place in the United States from 1900 through 2017 were carried out by people who had either been diagnosed with a mental disorder or demonstrated signs of serious mental illness prior to the attack,“ (Duwe). These numbers refer to public mass shootings, which include, but not only refer to schools. What this statistic means is 109 shootings at most could have been avoided by having schools identify students with mental illnesses and making schools provide effective support for these students. However, PBS claims, “Schools do not all screen students for mental health issues. Even if students are successfully identified, many areas lack the community-based mental health treatment options that would be needed to help

“The fear of school shootings is greatly exaggerated in comparison with other risks such as riding in a car” (Borum et al. 2010). Although school shootings do not happen a lot, they are still needed to be feared. If you fear something you become more aware of your surroundings. Although, after a school shooting happens somewhere, all the other schools in the country will be more cautious than they were before the shooting. For a school shooting, if a teacher or faculty member were to have fear and believe that something was going to happen, then they should tell the

Schools have tried to combat the issue by trying to make mental health help more accessible, like through a survey or encouraging postures. These changes made to the school system and community still aren’t enough to keep children safe at school. After another tragedy, social media and the community bring awareness to the issue, but it fades away quickly with nothing being done about it. An example of this is the shooting in Des Moines, Iowa that occurred on January 23, 2023. What was it?

One in five people in America suffer from a form of a mental health disorder (Mental health). Many people, especially children, develop severe mental illnesses which are usually left untreated for a very long time. Mental illness is becoming more and more common in today’s society. With more younger kids becoming vulnerable to possible mental health disorders, schools should be taking note. Schools in the United States should require mental health screenings; mental health problems can start very early on in life, school violence could be prevented, and suicide rates could go down.

Susan would appear to have at least five symptoms of a Social Anxiety Disorder: intense, disproportionate, and persistent fear or anxiety regarding social conditions (e.g., restaurant, daughters’ school, grocery store) where Susan could be exposed to public scrutiny; fear of being negatively evaluated by other people; anxiety is caused by exposer to social situations; avoidance of the feared social situation (she is ordering groceries online instead of visiting the grocery store were her most recent episode occurred); and significant distress or impairment (Comer, 2014). Note, while many individuals with social anxiety may experience panic attacks, Susan’s major concern is regarding a fear of negative evaluation by others, whereas in panic disorders the primary concern is about the symptoms of the panic attacks themselves (Comer,2014). Social anxiety disorder has begun to significantly impair her functioning in multiple areas of her life. She already begun to avoid the grocery store and this fear is generalizing to restaurants and her daughter’s
