Persuasive essay
Students should have lockers because it will stop people
from stealing their stuff. For example, the children won't have to worry
about their books, homework assignments, and personal belongings being stolen.
The reason for this is that the children will have their own lockers plus their
own locks, which only they have the combination to. This will reduce
cases where things are being stolen.

Argumentative essay
The K-12 education in terms of
preventing violence against women is very much needed by the society because
the contemporary exposure of children to violence id immense and have never
been as available as now. Television, video and computer games, films
constantly give the weak child’s mind new patterns of aggressiveness and
violence. Sometimes children do experience violence themselves or grow up in
the atmosphere of threat or in a neighborhood that constantly provides examples
of inability to self-control and to stop the conflict peacefully. Children
start taking all of these as a “normal” fact and see nothing bad in behaving in
the same way for the only thing they do – is the simply copy what they see.
The reason that the personality of the teachers nowadays is valued more than their knowledge in the course they teaching is because the values and behavior examples delivered to children in the sensitive period outweigh some gaps in the course. Good teachers protect children from violence and make sure their development is healthy and they learn what true beauty and virtue is.
The basic reasons children in general and boys in particular can be so easily influenced by violent behavior is because such behavior as it has been mentioned before is actually learned. The brain starts making critical connections in the period of childhood but in reality these connections are not truly “critical” as they are taken a priori. At the beginning the child’s mind is a “Tabula Rasa”, a clean board, on which teachers and family with their hand draw the picture of the child’s future behavior and personality. So basically saying, the violent behavior against women performed by men is simply an imprint that a man got when he was a boy. While thinking only about the fact that exposure to violence causes boys to be violent in future, teachers and parent should not forget that love is the tool to teach the child to be understanding and patient, to be loving and non-aggressive. Mutual understanding makes the child learn constructive way of conflict solving and also learn how to control himself and not to express his anger in any destructive way. The education from Kindergarten through the twelfth grade that is based on acceptance, love and true devotion to children is a guarantee of preventing violent manifestations in the lives of these children. If children feel that they are needed and expected at school, if they feel safe expressing their thoughts and know that they are respected and never humiliated they will never humiliate anybody themselves and will have less problems dealing with a stress (Mullender, 2004). It is common knowledge that aggression is a protection and violence is a strong, fixed aggressive behavior (Kimmel & Michael, 1989). And there is no secret in the fact that the majority of teachers are women. If a boy learns to be aggressive from Kindergarten till his senior year in High School the probability that he will not be violent to women is very low. So here it is necessary to face two major facts: the two most important factors influencing the boy’s violent orientation are school and family. The majority of teachers are women and the most important person for a child – mother, belong to the female gender, too. In case mother fails to teach her son solve the conflicts constructively and the teacher fails to develop his problem solving skills – aggression against women is very probable to occur. K-12 education with its ability to teach children to cope with negative feelings in non-destructive positive ways nowadays has turned to the key element in teaching non-violent behavior against women. This is true for very often parents are very busy working and have no time to open their child the door to the productive, non-aggressive life.
