Message: The case examined particularly impressed me as a situation of particular social discomfort due to purely economic issues.
The main factor of disturbance is the father's violent behavior that reflects negatively on children than on mother, leading to a removal of children from families.
This leads the boy to assume an attitude of rebellion against the company with which it comes in contact, and thus a rejection of the school that represents its immediate social. The school has enabled to correct this attitude and be able to return in the student a positive attitude towards the study results definitely satisfactory.
In this as in other cases that occurred in our schools, you may notice that it is essentially thanks to the attention paid by the teachers to the problems highlighted by the students and their feeling that you are unable to retrieve children otherwise destined to end up in the net of the underworld.
This is a strength of the vast majority of teachers who, as downside, sees a State that is not always present and never complains of social discomfort that arises certainly economic. For this reason they should be more involved social workers and others who might come into contact with these families and look for a point of contact between school and family to allow children a more positive approach towards the school.
