In many countries, schools have severe problems with student behaviour. What do you think are the causes of this? What solutions can you suggest?

Nowadays, schools in various parts of the world report that students tend to have behavioural problems. Unfortunately, this will make it harder for schools to educate students as problematic behaviours are likely to interfere with the education process. There are some reasons as to why students behave inappropriately. 1Firstly, the way society works these days 2affectsaffect students’ behavioural patterns. For instance, parents might spend more time at work than at home and as a result, children lack parental guidance, not knowing how they are supposed to behave. This, in turn, is likely to cause them to have behavioural problems. Secondly, 3such behaviour might be caused by external influences such as the internet and televisionsuch behaviours might be caused by external influences, such as internet and television. 4Students, for example, might watch TV shows that use a lot of violence. 5Therefore, 6they are likely to imitate this in real lifethey are likely to imitate in real life by being more aggressive and using more violence. After all, students, especially teenagers, are easily affected by 7outside influencesexternal parties. 8In order to 9counter such a problemcounter such problem, teachers should be friendly while still maintaining their professionalism. By being friendly, teachers might be able to understand 10students’ points of viewstudents’ point of views and thus devise 11appropriate strategies for connecting with themthe right strategies to connect with them. This is because students are more likely to listen to teachers if they feel they can relate to the teachers and that the teachers understand them. Furthermore, it is also important to handle students patiently. This is really crucial since rough 12treatmenttreatments might worsen their behaviours or encourage them to play truant. It is, therefore, wiser to be patient and guide students gradually to be well-behaved rather than using force to do so. In conclusion, behavioural problems result from the way society works these days (e.g. lack of parental guidance) and 13external influences, such as violent TV showsexternal parties, such as bad influences from TV shows. Nevertheless, by understanding students’ views and guiding them patiently, students can gradually change and 14behave more appropriatelybehave in a more appropriate manner.
