The Impact of Divorce on Our Students |

EDZU 9984 (3 credits / 45 hours) | |||
Today divorce is one of the biggest issues that we see affecting our students in the educational system. While divorce has always impacted our students, the increase in its numbers has reached staggering proportions. This alarming trend is felt by every school district, teacher and support staff in this country. This course deals with the different problems that children and young adults must handle on a daily basis through this massive family change. It is often the case that when teachers call or email a parent, they view multiple contacts and addresses for guardians that are no longer married and children who split their time between these different residences. For our students, it could be a hard challenge to juggle the emotional strains at home and earning suitable grades. There are many situations in which teachers know little about the home life, type of divorce, living arrangements and the reasons why some students struggle to handle this situation within an academic setting. All prospective students will learn about the family, legal, educational, social, psychological, health, and criminal aspects of divorce that could negatively impact our students before, during, and after school hours. This class will have insightful readings, statistics, government information, video clips, movies, and current events that will shed a vital light on the growing connection of divorce and education for today and in the future. |
