Leisure organization
Conversations conducted by the teacher during class hours should concern the issues of attracting schoolchildren to classes in sports sections. Organization of leisure time for children at risk is especially important.
Involving students in the work of various associations, as well as artistic circles, is also the prevention of delinquency among minors at school. A conversation on these topics must be included in the classroom plan. After all, the development of students’ creative initiative, as well as the active and useful conduct of their leisure time, without any doubt, shapes the child’s law-abiding behavior.
Discuss your child's problems, not his diagnosis.
I don't think it's right in all cases to tell the school about your child's diagnosis. If you are sure that the teachers understand the problem and knowledge of the diagnosis will allow them to better understand the child and competently build a program to help him, then feel free to report. If you want to pity the teacher or director by appealing to his mercy, then don’t. The less you trust the teacher, the less you believe in his ability to understand what is happening to the child, the less need to share medical information with him. The consequences can be the most unfortunate.
On our forum there were cases when teachers publicly declared a child abnormal, declared in front of the whole class “what to do with him - he is registered with a neurologist,” informed parents that the child must first be cured and then brought to class (in relation to children with ADHD recommendation is absolutely meaningless).
My own experience is also bleak: the only time I decided to tell my child’s teacher the diagnosis (at that time MMD - minimal brain dysfunction), the teacher considered it a “fatal mental disability” and replied: “If your child is an idiot, give it up.” him to a school for idiots." And when I cried, she typed: “Well, if the mother is hysterical, how will the child be normal?”
Now I am already a seasoned mother: I worked as a mother of schoolchildren for 18 years in a row - from the day the eldest went to school until the day the youngest graduated. Now I would no longer cry, but would go to the director with a written statement about the teacher’s unethical behavior. But not every mother is able to maintain composure in such a situation.
Fighting passes
A variety of topics of conversation on the prevention of delinquency among minors, concerning unexcusable reasons for the absence of children from classes, is also an important part of the educational work carried out by the class teacher. The teacher must monitor children's attendance at lessons on a daily basis. At the same time, it is important to keep monthly records of student absences, which indicate valid and unexcused reasons for absence. Children must be informed that their attendance at lessons is under the strict control of the class teacher. And you won’t be able to hide the true reasons for your absence from your mentor. Such actions by the teacher will improve discipline in the classroom and will be an effective preventive measure to eliminate delinquency among teenagers.
Working with parents
In order to prevent crime, work should be carried out to identify students living in families whose situation is considered socially dangerous. If negative facts are discovered, the teacher must inform the school Prevention Council.
From time to time, class teachers get acquainted with the living conditions of their students and hold conversations with parents on the following topics:
— “Overcoming learning difficulties. Help from parents." - “Reasons why a child does not want to study.” - “Problems of raising teenagers”, etc.
The goal of such events is to increase interaction between family and school to prevent illegal actions among schoolchildren.
Concept of offenses
What does this term include? An offense is understood as a person’s guilty behavior that causes harm to others, is contrary to existing legal norms in society, and can entail certain legal liability.
There is a certain classification of such actions. They are divided into two groups. The first of these includes misdemeanors. This type of offense can be labor and disciplinary, civil and administrative. The second group includes crimes. These are acts that result in a violation of criminal law. In turn, crimes are distinguished by severity.
Depending on the type of offense committed, there is also a certain liability. She may be:
- criminal - for violations of laws, as provided for in the Criminal Code; - administrative, in case of violation of the norms contained in the Code of Administrative Offenses; — disciplinary, that is, entailing liability for violations of labor legislation; — civil law, regulated property relations.
Pedagogical task
Working with students at school is a multidimensional process, very complex and lengthy in its duration. At the same time, the teaching staff of educational institutions is given a rather specific task, namely, the prevention of delinquency and crime among minors. Conversation during such events is the most effective way to prevent the occurrence of situations where a person commits guilty acts. But in addition to this, the school must provide all opportunities for the normal development of children. The teacher’s task is to identify students who are prone to violations of moral and legal norms. At the same time, it is important to study the individual characteristics of such children, as well as the reasons for the moral deviation of the individual.
If such events are carried out on time, this will make it possible, on the basis of properly organized educational assistance, to prevent situations leading to misconduct or offenses.
How to negotiate with the school
The main task of the first stage of communication is to unite allies and accurately describe the problem. If you and your child are allies, it will be easier for you to cope with your nerves: feelings of guilt, anger, frustration, rage.
If you accurately describe the problem (the child cannot cope with his emotions in class, the teacher cannot be distracted to calm him down every time, the teacher has not yet found methods to effectively cope with his emotions) - you can develop a more detailed plan for solving the problem.
If everything goes smoothly at this stage, the school, parents and student sit down at the negotiating table and find out:
- What exactly are the child’s difficulties?
- what resources the school, parents, and what the child himself can do to solve the problem.
Next they will need:
- create a collaboration plan,
- divide responsibilities: who is responsible for what;
- outline control points for its implementation,
- find out how progress will be assessed,
- schedule follow-up meetings to correct the plan,
- specify the obligations assumed by each party.
That is, it is necessary to reach an agreement and accurately record it - preferably in writing.
Unfortunately, in reality this is quite difficult for parents and schools; almost no one has this experience, and even if all participants in the process have good will and a desire to find a solution, they have to go by trial and error. Here are the steps that a conversation with a teacher or other school representative may include.
Legal education
The work plans of educational institutions also include conversation topics on the prevention of various crimes. Not only class teachers take part in their implementation. Representatives of the fire department, law enforcement agencies, family and youth affairs specialists, psychologists, etc. are involved in such conversations. For example, the topic of a conversation on the prevention of juvenile delinquency (7th grade) may concern issues of crime and responsibility for it. Conversations with children in this direction aim to familiarize schoolchildren with various types of offenses and develop their correct civic position. Conversations on this topic can be held as early as primary school.
They will also be an effective crime prevention measure for older students. The teacher must constantly conduct explanatory work about the types of existing liability for violation of the law, about illegal actions characteristic of adolescents, about the concepts of administrative, criminal and civil punishment, etc. Such activities will certainly develop children’s activity in forming correct life positions.
An approximate topic for such class hours: - “Our interests and the street.” — “Responsibilities and rights of a schoolchild.” - “Crimes and their consequences”, etc.
Such conversations should be held periodically to prevent delinquency among minors. Grade 9 can listen to the topic “Crime and Teenagers.” A more in-depth study of this material should take place in high school. For example, the topic of the conversation on the prevention of delinquency among minors (grade 10) is “Crime and its types.”
