Corporal Punishment
Aren't there other ways of dealing with misbehavior? Why do so many places resort to Corporal Punishment? It is proven that violence in the home is a leading cause in psychological problems among children.
Maybe there is a different outcome when you use this method at school? Organizations, such as Teachers for America, place their teachers in all sorts of different places. This may place you in a school that does use corporal punishment. Would you be able to do it? How can schools actually defend themselves?

Societal Values
How did your society become so obsessed with money? Why is everyone so concerned with achieving the "American Dream"? (Which is just an ideology that does not actually exist!)
So many people compete to get to "the top", to make that extra dollar, to buy that million dollar mansion, to travel all around the world......to forget about the many many children who are living in poverty, or the schools that cannot afford the proper resources and TEACHERS!!
Money. There are some people who are trying to make a difference in the lives and education of children. Fortunately, there are organizations like "Teach for America" that sends teachers who are willing to make a difference in the lives of students in many areas of the country. This is such a select organization though. If only there were a way to convince more "excellent" teachers to accept or apply for positions in schools that need help, think of the increase of the oh so popular test scores! Think of the lives that could be improved! But no, there are too many money and power obsessed people in this world.
What would you do? How would you help those children in the schools that need your help?
