Teachers are no longer feared, and in many cases, parents’ indulgence has also contributed to students’ unruly behavior. The role of smartphones and other distractions can’t be ignored either.
A viral video circulating on social media has left viewers in shock, showing just how far some students are willing to go. The clip features two students in uniform, presumably from a coaching center, engaging in a violent scuffle right in the middle of class. They begin by hitting each other with slippers and books, disregarding any sense of respect for the learning environment. The entire classroom watches the brawl, but no one intervenes. In moments, the scene escalates into what looks more like a wrestling match than a school setting. One student is pushed to a bench, and despite attempts from friends to calm things down, the other continues attacking him with a sandal. Eventually, they return to their seats, but the damage has already been done.
As this video continues to gain attention, many are questioning how discipline has slipped so far in educational institutions. The incident seems to confirm what some fear – that without traditional methods of maintaining order, such as the cane, students are becoming increasingly aggressive. Parents, after seeing this video, may now start to wonder just how much control schools really have over their children’s behavior.
The video highlights an important issue: how should students be disciplined in today’s educational environment? How do we balance maintaining order and respect with non-violent teaching methods? The debate continues.
