Troubled adolescents at school

This Tuesday was the presentation of Paula, Marlen and Ma Teresa. Their topic was “Troubled adolescents at school”.

They presented the topic very clearly. They talked about what a troubled adolescent is; some behaviour problems in children, changes caused by poverty, the influence of society and attraction to bad behaviour, among other things.

They presented some risk factors like violence, alcohol and suicide, introduced the acronym of ADHO (Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) which means and special issue of troubled teens, and talked about some special schools that help troubled teenagers such as military schools, boarding schools, and disciplinary camps.

Their presentation was very good. A little bit fast but good. Their activity was very nice. We had to share our opinions in two different cases as a teacher. They didn’t move around that much, though, only when we were discussing the cases. The handout where the cases were had some grammatical and syntax problems, just a few of them. Anyway, they did a good job.

After that presentation we went to the laboratory to know what the page www.educarchile.cl was about.
