Speech on agrassive behaviour of students

Anger is a human feeling. So, practice with students various ways to de-fuse anger. Adults and teachers sometimes get angry, too. Practice with students counting to ten before reacting in anger, and breathing deeply to calm down. Teach them words to replace violent behavior: “I am very angry and upset now; I need to leave!” Help them to recognize anger as an emotion and to learn ways to deal with it. Consequence to uncontrolled anger or aggression in class: student(s) must leave the class! Talk to students regularly about aggression and unacceptable behaviors at school. Repeat school rules often and be firm and consistent each time a student becomes aggressive. Always have the same plan and consequence in place for any student who is aggressive in the classroom. If a student tries to provoke a teacher to see what happens, provide the same consequence.
Many Belizean teenagers do not have the communication skills necessary to help them through stressful situations. For some, hitting someone is the only way they know to show that they are upset; it gives them a false sense of power over classmates. Encourage and help students to practice the art of diplomacy in tough situations, and show them how to be assertive when they feel like acting aggressively. “Assertive” phrases that help students trade off aggressive behavior in favor of acceptable behavior: “No!” said firmly gets a point across assertively, or “No, it’s mine; you cannot have it!” or, “I don’t like that!” or, “Stop! You’re hurting me.” Remind angry or frustrated students to use firm and assertive language instead of screaming vulgarities or being aggressive. However, if a student persistently displays violent behaviors that affect class functioning he/she may have other problems that require professional medical help.
Certain situations in the classroom may cause a student to act aggressively i.e. working in a group project; that’s when we stress to him/her to use assertive words. If we see students getting frustrated, engage them in a different activity that avoids aggressive confrontations. However, no student who targets another student during class should be allowed in that class until he/she learns self-control. If a student is exhausted or over-stimulated (right after break or lunch) perhaps low-key, slower-paced activities may make aggression less likely. Once in a while, review with students those situations that make them angry, and try to come up with solutions (always in accordance with school rules) to help them navigate through those times. Praising good behavior motivates students to continue to behave well.
Teachers are human and may sometimes be tempted to show a student what it feels like to be the victim of aggression; but we never show students that aggression resolves conflicts. We maintain our composure always! TV and video violence influences students to act out aggressively with their peers; however, schools and parents working together can help students achieve good behavior. Teachers, if you get frustrated and angry at a student who is aggressive in class, remember that his/her poor behavior is NOT a reflection of poor teaching skills. Teaching an aggressive student is one of the greatest challenges any teacher will face, but providing a “sound education” includes helping students to learn appropriate ways to interact with other students and adults around them.
Each teacher is always the best example to his/her students of appropriate behavior.

Explanation:
Good morning Respected Principal, teachers and my dear friends, I, Alia, Head Girl, am standing before you to speak about the rising cases of aggressive behaviour of students in our school.
I couldn’t help but notice that the youngsters of our generation are becoming increasingly impatient. Be it the pattern of education or results or conclusion of anything. This generation demands prompt response. This impatience shows in the daily activities of youngsters. And more often than not this impatience turns into aggression. I have noticed a lot of students of senior classes aggressively bullying the small kids to get their things done before others. I was more disturbed to witness aggression of few students towards teachers and rules of the school as well.
Teachers are one of the most respected people of our society. They are the building blocks of our future. And our culture teaches us to respects them above all. Whatever we learn in our school helps us to be better human beings in our upcoming future.
We should always respect the rules and regulations of our school. As these rules help us to become a better person. Therefore it is advisable that we abide by the rules of school as well as the society too. Maintaining discipline will enable students to figure out what’s best for them and their future.
Thank you
