The Evolution of
School Systems
~ Gwilda Wiyaka ~
In times past, schools were considered a safe place
for children and teachers – one of exploration and growth. Now with all the
conflict, stress and shootings, teachers deserve hazardous duty pay and children
might be wise to exchange their backpacks for bulletproof vests.
What has happened to turn our once safe and supportive
schools into war zones? How ineffective has education become as a result? What
evolutionary solution can be found to counteract the rapidly deteriorating
condition of school environments, safety and quality of education?
With us this hour to delve into the dilemma is Dr.
Cletus R. Bulach a retired Ohio school superintendent
and associate professor emeritus at the University of West Georgia. He is the author of numerous articles in
educational journals and is co-author of the two books: “School
Climate and Culture Vis-à-vis Student Learning: Keys to Collaborative Problem
Solving and Responsibility.” The second book is “Enhancing A High Performing
School Culture and Climate: New Insights for Improving Schools.” The second
book focuses on human relations problems that interfere with creating a
positive school culture and climate: poor interpersonal communications and
inability to cope with conflict.
