In the past few years, the phenomenon of violence at schools increased as a result of the political, economical and social conditions that prevail in the country. In this school violence is practiced in all its forms, be it physical or psychological against students and amongst themselves.
In the midst of this phenomenon, the social worker tries his best to stem violence within the confines of the school and requests the assistance of Principal “Fouad”. He suggests many plans for making a change in the school environment by working with the teachers, families and students to raise their awareness in regards the children’s rights and form parents and students’ councils .The social worker faces a lot of hindrances and opposition, which reduces the importance of his suggestions that call for a change to the better.
Instructor Abu Shaker, who uses the stick a lot, does not see how he would stop using it, as it became an integral part of himself. He also sees that this does not contradict with any of their rights as he raises them in accordance with our “customs and traditions”. It is that which maintains his awe and prestige vis a vis the students and provides him control over them.
What could Principal “Fouad” do with regard to all that goes on in the corridors of his school?
How could Instructor “Ishaq” control his students without the use of the stick?
Would the “Social worker” succeed in bringing about the desirable changes?
