The Impact of Travel on Personal Growth
I definitely think traveling helps you to broaden your mind. If you want to travel to another country and learn about its culture, countryside, towns, ways of living, museums, etc., it means you are interested in something beyond your country and life. If you want to make a profit from your visit, you'll have to find out more on the internet or in books. In my view, if you do such things, you're already broadening your mind; you are getting interested in something else than you and your background.
Discovering New Cultures
Then you visit the country: you'll discover a new culture, how people think and live, and what they think about problems in the world. All these new experiences will broaden your mind a lot; you won't be a narrow-minded person any longer.
School Safety and Environment
Yes, I do. I feel safe at school, so, in my view, "P de Monfr" High School needn't have closed TV circuit cameras at the entrance. I know some urban districts in big cities are dangerous, and violence can be felt in the air. Poverty and unemployment do not help to ensure safety either at school or in the streets. If a teenager's background is violent, he or she will learn to be violent quickly. He knows he has to defend himself. Fortunately, my school does not have such problems. Of course, there are sometimes rude pupils, but up to now, no especially trained dogs or armed security guards have been necessary.
Teacher-Student Relationships
From my point of view, teachers should not be stricter than they are now. I know teachers were really rigid some years ago. In fact, my mum has told me about corporal punishment at schools when she was a kid herself. If you spoke in class or didn't obey the teacher, you could be beaten. But I don't think that's suitable. A teacher must certainly give his classes properly. They are paid to do it. And teenagers go to school in order to get a suitable education that allows them to become adults who will have to earn their living.
The Role of Teachers
Teachers are supposed to help pupils become capable adults. And it is possible to teach if both teachers and students do not behave properly. I think that's the point. If an adult is both nice and strict to teenagers, most of them will be nice too.
