School and Home Environment
Tom was one of the 1 (bright) boys in the year, with 2 (support) parents. But when he was 15 he suddenly stopped 3 (try). He left school at 16 with only two scores for secondary school subjects. One of the 4 (reason) that made it cool for him not to care was the power of his peer (同龄人)group.
The lack of right male (男性的) role models in many of their lives-at home and 5 (particular) in the school environment (环境)-means that their peers are the only people they have to judge themselves against.
They don’t see men succeeding in society so it doesn’t occur to them that they could make something of themselves. Without male teachers as a role model, the effect of peer actions and street culture (文化)is all- 6 (power). Boys want to be part of a club. However, schools can provide the environment for change, and provide the right role models for them. Teachers need to be 7 (train) to stop that but not in front of a child’s peers. You have to do it one to one, because that is when you see the real child.
It’s pointless 8 (send) a child home if he or she has done wrong. They see it as a welcome day off to watch television or play computer 9 (). Instead, schools should have a special unit where a child who has done wrong goes for the day and 10 (get) advice about his problems-somewhere he can work away from his peers and go home after the other children.
