Question

How would you change your school so all students in your school feel valued?

Answer 1

Nothing School is for learning. If you want to feel valued then do something of value.

Answer 2

Well, since this is the HOMEschool section, my students feel extremely valued.  As teacher, I get to tell them how much I love them!  :-)

We don't need to make any changes in our school.

Try posting in "primary & secondary education".

Answer 3

FIRST, I WOULD GET THE PARENTS TO TALK TO ALL THE BULLIES IN SCHOOL. THEN THERE WOULD BE SOMEONE APPOINTED WEEKLY, SO TO WATCH OUT FOR DISCRIMINATION INFRACTIONS. ALSO HAVE THE BOARD OF EDUCATION TO PLACE SOME CHILDREN THAT ARE NOT LEARNING AS WELL AS THEY SHOULD BE IN A SPECIAL CLASS---FOR THEIR BENEFIT.

Answer 4

I think the parents are why kids are the way they treat and respesct others, because after all it starts at home first.I know people who think it is cute for their little ones to say F--K  Y-U to people and then when they start getting bigger and they have law problems with them I hear them say " I just dont know why he acts like that" Oh was it because you thought it was cute when he was little and sat and laughed about it and now it is not so funny.

Answer 5

Since this is the home school section, I can say that I make sure my kids feel valued when we are "doing school" and when we are not.

I have to agree with the second answerer in the only way for a kid to truly feel valued is for it to start at home. A lot of parents use school( as in brick and mortar)  to teach the kids way to much! It should be treated as a tool, not the whole means of educating a child. Parent involvement is the problem, not just a lousy school system.

Answer 6

Since this is the home schooling section, and I am a homeschool parent, I will answer based on my homeschool.

There are three students in my homeschool, and each of them knows that I love them and value them more than my own life.

So I guess I'll continue what I've been doing, but just do even more of it.  Loving my kids.

Answer 7

As a homeschooled graduate, I always felt valued in my 'school'.  I always had a say in my curriclum, my schedule, my teachers (Mom and Dad) were always there for me, nobobody picked on me (although my little brother could get quite annoying...), and the school lunches were always fresh and delicious!

Answer 8

Well, my school - homeschool - has one student, my son, and he does feel valued :)

Answer 9

You'd have to change the parents to make the kids feel valued.  No matter what the school could do when parents do not have kids take baths and buy them clothes that at least fit, a school would be hard pressed to make a kid feel valued.
