This study examines the great and varying problems that children from state-run nurturing facilities are having in adapting themselves to the school environment. In consideration of this problem, this study's purpose in to shed light on the ways of developing and expanding our schools' social service projects to address these problems in order to help these children adapt themselves to the schooling system.
For achieving this purpose, I conducted a survey of 72 elementary school students and 18 teachers from three different children's shelters and I performed a case studies on three children from three different facilities. The results of these studies are as follows:
First, the problematic aspects of children from state-run nurturing facilities could be summarized in the following terms: There are not enough provisions being made for the many problems inherent in children education. These problems include: improper social relationships with other classmates, ineffectual study habits, teachers general lack of professional intervention techniques and counseling methodologies for both prevention and the address of the problems which children from state-run nurturing facilities are facing, Further aggravating these daunting problems are the children showing very passive and negative attitudes and a general tendency to reject what could be considered acceptable schooling adaptation behaviors.
Second, the root causes of the problems which children from state-run nurturing facilities are facing can be pointed at and summarized. Many personal problems stem from the lack of a stable home environment. Further, the prejudices of local people and school teachers, and even of other students must also be considered a major contributing factor in the problem. An overly regulated and repressive lifestyle is foisted upon these children at their facilities, and this condition is combined with an utter lack of emotional and financial support and any programs designed to mitigate these problems.
In summation, the problem of school maladaptation among children from state-run nurturing facilities can be attributed to the uncaring environmental conditions in which these children are living. Personal problems stem from the lack of a nurturing home environment, myriad problems in the facility environment, trouble with inter-personal relationships, the teachers at school, and the local community environment.
Therefore, the development of school sponsored social services is required to effectively address these problems of student inability to adapt to the schooling system. We should be working to create a harmony between the children's social environmental needs and be taking more aggressive measures to create nurturing interaction and promote healthy inter-personal exchanges in the various environmental conditions in which these problematic children most interact. In order to take a step forward to solve these problems, the issue of social prejudice must be addressed. These problems include, but are not exclusive to: school, facilities, local communities, public media, and so many others.
