First Step to Stop Gangsterism

This is just the rough idea that I have on the method that we should practise to curb gangsterism. As they say, first thing first, we should use education as the first step to curb gangsterism. Nowadays, every young child goes to school. Moral values should be instilled in them at a very young age. The moral values in them should not be measured just by their scores in the Moral test but also practically. Their class teacher should be their Moral teacher because it is always the class teacher who knows the students' character best. Teachers play a vital role in instilling the Moral values in students because they are like the students' second parents. Since the teachers are playing a vital role in the students' lives, they should not be burdened with many works like collecting money, photostating exercises, and all those clerk's job look alike. These extra jobs is burdening the teachers and caused them to be moody while teaching, causing them to punish students easily or be annoyed easily causing the students to hate schools and therefore loitering around and finally got involved in gangsterism. The school should have a place like Jabatan Bendahari like it is in universities. Students pay their school fees to the clerk or receptionist in a computerised office. I don't see lecturers being burdened with the collecting money's job, right? In terms of measuring the students' moral behaviour, it should not be only the Moral's teacher evaluation on a particular student is counted. The other teachers have the right to discuss a student's particular quality because Moral in practical is very subjective. Then, the government should only allowed students to leave school after Form 6 and not Form 5 or below since most of the jobs with SPM qualifications does not pay well. People join gangsterism for money, because their academic achievement does not ensure good income. Besides that, the school-leavers especially men, should have a legal job within 6 months after graduating. If they failed to show their legal work's licence or permit, then they would be asked to do a job at another state or town. I know it's not easy to implement this, but let's start with the first step. Maybe, it can make a little difference, at least.

actually almost every children receives decent education at schools nowadays..em...bullying is the issue which leads to gangsterism, isn't it? i will say family plays a crucial role here because i think that both the bully/gangster and the victim possess low self-esteem as they might indergone or experience physical/mentally abuse before...

Thanks Esther for dropping by.. yup, i really agree with u that families play very important role. Hehe.. Forgot to mention them in this post though.. Lol.. I think the parents should not spoil their children, and sometimes they tend to take for granted that the teachers are taking care of their children.. But teachers are thinking that it was the parents who should watch out for their children.. So, nobody wants to bear the responsibility.. Nobody is guiding the children, but their peers who lead them to gangsterism..
