Heart-Warming Facts About Public and Private Elementary Schools in Brooklyn
Four years ago, when a school opened in one of the
neighborhoods in Brooklyn after two schools had failed in their endeavor to provide
quality education, everyone expected the school to suffer from the same fate as
the other two schools.
Most students of this school were from troubled families and
hence had emotional issues which had to be addressed. Some of the students even
had frenzied outbursts, throwing chairs and getting into frequent fistfights
with their classmates.
Obviously something had to be done about it and it had to be
done soon.
Like most public and private elementary schools in Brooklyn,
which are dedicated to the cause of effectuating a wholesome development in the
students, this school too was no exception.
After being set-up, the faculty and the associated social
workers got into full-on action mode by structuring multiple programs and provisions
to cater to the emotional and physical needs of the students.
It was indeed very challenging for the school to achieve
what it did through its consistent efforts to uplift the condition of its
students while taking care of other crucial aspects like implementation of the Common
Core standards.
The social workers worked tirelessly- from conducting one-on-one
literacy sessions with those students who needed extra help with academics to providing
emotional counselling and therapy for the students who had emotional issues which
manifested as violent outbursts and for those suffering from Attention Deficit Hyperactivity
Disorder (ADHD) and dyslexia.
The services even extended to the family members of the students
as the cause of all issues had to be eliminated from its roots- parents were
counselled too to help them in their daily struggles.
School absenteeism, learning disabilities and emotional
trouble in young students, which were previously rampant, had a gradual downfall
due to the noble efforts of the public and private elementary schools in Brooklyn.
