The Impact

Ebony Wright was slated to graduate from Claremont High School in the spring. She was on the honor roll, captain of the girls’ varsity softball and swim teams, and recently awarded an academic scholarship to attend a highly ranked university in the fall. Ebony was a “model” student. How she found herself sitting in the principal’s office several weeks before graduation was a shock to everyone. This case study challenges the function of whiteness in school policies. Aspiring school and teacher leaders are provided with the opportunity to consider the impact of a seemingly race-neutral school dress code policy.

ABSTRACT Background Medical students attending schools with policies limiting industry/student interactions report fewer relationships with pharmaceutical representatives. Objective To investigate whether associations between students' medical school policies and their more limited industry interaction behaviors persist into residency. Methods We randomly sampled 1800 third-year residents who graduated from 120 allopathic US-based medical schools, using the American Medical Association Physician Masterfile. We surveyed them in 2011 to determine self-reported behavior and preferences for brand-name prescriptions, and we calculated the strength of their medical schools' industry interaction policies using the 2008 American Medical Student Association and Institute on Medicine as a Profession databases. We used logistic regression to estimate the association between strength of school policies and residents' behaviors with adjustments for class size, postresidency career plan, and concern about medical school debt. Results We achieved a 44% survey response rate (n = 739). Residents who graduated from schools with restrictive policies were no more or less likely to accept industry gifts or industry-sponsored meals, speak with marketing representative about drug products, attend industry-sponsored lectures, or prefer brand-name medications than residents who graduated from schools with less restrictive policies. Residents who correctly answered evidence-based prescription questions were about 30% less likely to have attended industry-sponsored lectures (OR = 0.72, 95% CI 0.56–0.98). Conclusions Any effect that medical school industry interaction policies had on insulating students from pharmaceutical marketing did not persist in the behavior of residents in our sample. This suggests that residency training environments are important in influencing behavior.

School Preparedness

The Disaster Preparedness School (SSB) which is an activity to build school communities through strengthening knowledge and attitudes, school policies, emergency response plans, school early warning systems, and resource mobilization based on existing school capacities in anticipating disaster risk. Descriptive research type. Sampling technique with purposive sampling. Based on this purposive sampling technique, researchers determined key informants including the Principal, Deputy Principal, and students. The results showed that: The implementation of the disaster preparedness school program at the 19 Primary Schools in Kampung Baru in Pariaman Tengah District, namely knowledge of attitudes and actions, school policies, school preparedness and resource mobility have been categorized as good. There are obstacles in the implementation of the disaster preparedness school program in the form of lack of funds and the lack of seriousness of students in the activities so that the implementation of the disaster preparedness school program has not run optimally. Efforts to be made in the future by the teacher in charge of disaster preparedness school in the form of increasing the desire of students to learn by motivating and making it more interesting so that students become interested and increase it into extracurricular activities and trying to make a subject.

Background: School uniform options such as skirts and dresses can impact physical activity and psychological wellbeing of girls. Restrictions that exclude trousers/pants or shorts as uniform options for girls can promote inequality in comfort and engagement in school activities. The South Australian Department of Education and Child Development (DECD) School Dress Code Procedure mandates school dress codes provide flexible uniform options with the right to choice, regardless of gender. This review examines public school adherence to DECD guidelines, and compares girls’ uniform options between public and private school sectors.Method: The proportion of girls shorts and pants/trouser options provided in school uniform policies collated in 2018 were compared across 486 public and 193 private primary, secondary, and combined schools within South Australia. Policies were grouped based on the choice they provided girls for shorts, and separately for trousers/pants. The groups were gender specific choice/open choice, unisex choice, restricted choice, or no option.Results: Overall, 98.6% of public and 26.4% of private school policies included shorts as a uniform option for girls. Of these schools, about nine in ten public, and just over half private, policies listed gender-specific or open choice shorts options. All public primary and high schools, and a majority of combined schools (98.8%) provided girls pants/trouser options, with 93.4% providing gender specific or open choices. This compared to 34.2% of private school policies including girls’ pants options. In total less than 1.0% of public, and 45.5% to 66.7% of private schools provide no opportunity for girls to wear shorts every day. Similarly, 56.0% of private schools do not provide any trouser/pant option.Conclusion: The results highlight a small proportion of public schools fail to follow mandated uniform policy procedures set by the DECD, specifically in context of shorts. Moreover, this report clearly demonstrates the discrepancy in girls’ uniform options between the public and private school sectors. We present suggestions and recommendations with the aim to improve current policy, as well as a need to advance adherence to policy and South Australian anti-discrimination legislation in public and particularly private schools.

This study determined and analyzed the challenges encountered and strategies employed by Junior High School Teachers in managing the students' behavior, who were the respondents of the study, in a private school in Quezon Province that gave way to the creation of a Teachers' Guidebook on Managing the Students' Behavior as an output. The descriptive-evaluative method of research was used in the study together with the Weighted Arithmetic Mean (WAM) as the statistical tool. Further, a validated researcher-made instrument was used to gather the needed data in the study.<p> Based on the findings of the study, under the code of conduct related to discipline, the respondents revealed the challenges encountered in managing students' behavior. The statements that got the highest WAM rating were (1) Failure of students to wear their uniform in official activities held inside or outside the school; (2) Students forget their ID at Home; and, (3) Failure of the students to accomplish their excuse slip form. </p> <p> In addition, the code of conduct related to decorum, the following are some of the challenges encountered by the respondents: (1) Students do not maintain silence when no teacher is around; (2) Students fight with their classmates when they lose their temper; (3) Students disrespect the sacredness of the chapel by uttering nasty words inside the place; (4) Students ignore teacher’s instructions and do some foolishness with their friends; (5) Students disobey the rules and regulations of the school; (6) Students are buying foods even though it is not a break time; (7) Students fail to maintain silence inside the library; (8) Students do not observe silence while buying in the cafeteria; (9) Students do not participate in the mass instead they talk to their classmate; and, (10) Students talk with their classmate while flag ceremony is on-going. </p> <p> The findings of the study revealed that the orientation of the students was needed to familiarize the students on the rules and regulations implemented in the school and to consistently impose discipline. </p> <p> The following recommendations are made by the researcher: The students should understand fully the importance of following the school's rules and regulations by taking seriously the identified school policy on the code of conduct. The teachers should conduct an annual orientation/re-orientation program that emphasizes the findings of this research, and seriously consider more effective strategies to overcome problems on code of conduct and use the output of this study. The school administrators should issue a school memorandum requiring all teachers and school staff to strictly implement the school policies. The future researchers should make a study on the assessment of the quality of the school policies implemented in the private schools in Quezon Province.</p>
