School's responsibilities towards child abuse, learning disabilities, and behavioral problems

Abstract

Creating a safe and learning environment in today's modern society has become extremely difficult not only for educators but also for parents. The need and demand for better education is no longer clear-cut because the demographic is dynamic in every sense of the word. Children with different ethnic, cultural, social, economic and learning backgrounds are making headways into institutions. Educators strive to cater to the different needs and at the same time have to comply with regulations and policies. To set one standard for all is considered unfair but at the same time different methods require investment in extensive resources which the education sector does not have. In particular under fire had been the issues surrounding students with learning disabilities, behavioral problems or child abuse background. Sociologists are of the view that these groups require special care in education which is absent in the scenario (Gabbard and Saltman 2003).
