Everybody has a different idea or a definition of
safety, but the main idea is we don´t face any danger or any risk. Danger or
risk is a very wide term, the word sparks an idea of terror and physical
violence but for someone it may be bulling or psychical abuse.
Nowadays schools are pretty safe, they probably have a
receptionist who won´t let some guy from the street inside the building. So, I
personally think that the meaning of safe school is a safe environment for all
students and teachers even other employees such as janitors or cooks. Schools
are supposed to offer the best conditions for the students to study. And they
do quite a good job. But it’s also the student’s responsibility to respect
other students and teachers. This is mostly where the main problem is.
Everybody is different and everybody comes from a different household. Some
people aren’t so lucky as others, causing diversity in the classrooms etc. This
is where bulling comes into place, somebody has the urge to make fun of
someone, just because he/she is different. It may not seem as a big deal but it
can really affect the student in many ways, resulting in getting bad grades,
not coming to school. But that’s the school’s main responsibility to make sure
that the student wants to come o school and feels safe.
In short, safe school should be a good environment for
everyone and making the conditions pleasant for each one who is a part of the
ecosystem.
I like the way you see the school environment. It really is an ecosystem! Thus without the engagement of all its components we cannot reach the desired school safety.
