In what Ways Could this School’s Policies be Changed to Better Address Problems Noted in the Chapter

According to Jansson (2019), the main problems in the American education sector include ethical issues in engaging in advocacy to promote economic justice, human rights, and ethical rights, quality education, culturally competent education, affordable and accessible education, care for students’ mental well-being, education relating to the student’s communities and preventing students’ educational and personal problems. Rio Calaveras’ policies can be changed to better address these problems by creating a policy that increases student participation when resolving an issue. For instance, the school can select a disciplinary committee to resolve issues within the school rather than involving parents when there is a problem to create a more conducive environment for the student.
