Student’s human right has been issue for a long time especially in the matters of freedom of students’ hair and clothing. When I was a high school student, I also had a kind of resistance to the rule itself. But now, as a grown up, I just don’t get it what is good and bad. In some school. Students have already had the freedom of hair and it is easy to find students with long, wavy, and dyed hair in school uniform. Not even their hair, mid and high students wear heavier make up than university students, so it’s hard to tell who is a student. In this situation, I think this students’ freedom turn out to something which threaten the security of them. Appropriate appearance and behavior as a student could let others perceive that she or he is a student and they should be protected by adults and society.
Also, I think the biggest problem here is the matter of banning punishment. After prohibiting punishment, some side effects’ raised up. Now, students started punishing teachers. Students misunderstood this law and thought they get a right to disobey teacher. Students’ human right is guaranteed, but how about teacher’s human right? I know there have been unqualified teachers who cross the line and not all teachers deserve to be respected. Anyway, the first role of school and teacher is to teach students what is good and wrong in our lives rather than to protect them. Protecting students is parents’ job, I think. And teaching involves appropriate punishment. Without this, teachers may have limits to control their students. So, before prohibiting punishment, I think we should reconsider about what is the right level of punishment and prepare a sort of system which teachers are controlled and learn the right level of punishment from. I heard from one of my table members that there is a special teacher who is only in charge of punishment at a school in America. I think it can be a possible solution in Korea too. Anyway, I hope a school become a happy place for both of students and teachers.
Banning punishment concerns me because as a result of that rule, some students ignore teachers, and disturb the surroundings of classroom. We often heard from the news that teachers concern about their rights because they are getting less power to control their classes and students. Some students look down their noses at teachers. You might see some videos like YouTube that some students are in frolic during the class, so other students who concentrate on their study (work) are harmed due to the noise. After hearing these types of news, I reconsider about students' human rights.
