Respecting Self and Others
Relates to citizenship and involvement necessary for all grades and subjects

This blog is intended for grades 7-12, and its aim is to discuss perceptions of students who are disrespectful in the classroom both to their teachers and peers. There seems to be a disconnect in the respect that teachers feel that they deserve and that to which they feel they are receiving from their students. Also, all students have varying views on respect and courtesy, and this seems to be controversial when mixed together and confined to a classroom for five days at a time. With this blog, I want to see how students perceive the respect, or lack thereof, in their schools.

    1. In order to respect others, you must respect yourself first.

    2. just how big of an issue respect is. I did not really think about it much before. However as I was digging deeper into the questions, I realized how big of a problem disrespect is and how often it is practiced.

    3. I would tell my friends that they have to go into this blog open-minded and to throw away all preconceived notions about respect.

    4. All of the links and questions were easy to access.

    5. All of my questions were pretty much answered by the links and from the blog.

    6. Maybe more visuals would have been nice, displaying disrepect?

    1. Is it ever okay to treat another person with disrespect?

    No because a person who disrespects another leaves the door open to be disrespected.
    2. What are the benefits of treating people with respect?
    You will never lose your self-respect.
    3. How well do your classmates know each other? What things stand in the way of getting to know people better?
    I think teens' misconceptions of one another and their fear of stepping outside their norm holds them back.

    4. What are some common signs of disrespect that you see in people at school? How do you feel about that?

    Bullying and inappropriate comments

    5. What do you dislike most about the way people treat each other here at school? What do you like the most? Why do you feel that way?

    I think teens can sometimes be insensitive and forget that people have feelings and can be hurt by jokes.
