Society must start to take notice of the youth. If youth rule the daytime, the youth will rule the nighttime. In school if a youth talks dirty or demeaning, dresses inappropriately and just hangs around not doing the work, these infractions are only looked upon as a ‘slap on the wrist.’ The school is not taking enough disciplinary steps to redirect behavior while making each youth behave better and abide by the rules. At night and after school, inappropriate dress, nasty, demeaning and disparaging language and just hanging around and not doing work are a major cause for ‘youth flash mobs’ and youth misbehavior. Like I said, if the youth get by with no discipline during the day, they think they will get by with no discipline during the night. Schools must enforce dress uniforms, proper usage of all language and not negotiable finishing and comprehension of all subject assignments. Who ensures all this is followed? The adults must take the leadership role to redirect all youth in school so they behave proper and not just hang around. In short, each youth does work each day. Change adults so they are more restrictive to the youth, more straightforward in directing inappropriate behavior and dress and discipline harsh enough so each youth is redirected to stay within expectations. But teachers wait for administrators to be the first adult to enforce a rule. The administrator waits for the teacher to be the first adult to enforce a rule. The parent waits for the police or school to contact them to say their child is acting inappropriately. The police is waiting for the parent to monitor and discipline their child for acting or dressing inappropriately. So why the wait? Each adult must act as an adult and redirect and take charge in changing the youth. Wait no more.
